CHAPTER XXXIX.
THE PERIOD OF CIVIL WAR
The years covered by the Civil war were exciting and full of incidents of the deepest interest to every citizen of this town. Throughout them all, its residents and voters were, by a large majority, thoroughly loyal to the Federal govern- ment. There were, however, a few prominent citizens having much influence, who honestly believed our govern- ment was wrong in waging war against secession, and were loud in their denunciations of its course. Prominent among these was Hiram Atkins, editor of the Bellows Falls Argus, and a number of others who were interested in the newspaper and assisted in its conduct. This paper had an influence antagonistic to the government, and its open and extreme expressions had the influence of creating a strong impression elsewhere that Bellows Falls and Rockingham were hot-beds of secession. The number of local sympathizers with secession was comparatively small, but from their bold utterances people were led to judge that the movement was much more general than was the fact.
A notable case, illustrating the strong feeling entertained by a few, is that of Eleazur Allbee, whose story is told in his family history later in this volume. He was one of the lead- ing men of the town, had held many offices of trust, and citizens looked to him for advice and counsel. He was a broad-minded, honest man and carried out his convictions by selling his property here at auction, leaving his native country and writing an unique epitaph, telling of his senti- ment, and this epitaph now interests visitors to the pretty cemetery at Stanstead, Que.
A few other similar instances occurred here, but in every vote of the town in support of the cause of freedom the majority was large upon the right side.

History of Rockingham
The various actions of the town, as shown by the interest- ing records of the town clerk's office, were uniformly those of liberality toward its citizens who enlisted, or those from other towns who enrolled themselves to the credit of this town's quota. Early in the war a vote was passed bind- ing the town always to care for the families of its soldiers. A bounty was given by the town, increasing in amount as the war progressed, and as it became harder to find the men. At one time the town voted a tax of four hundred cents on the dollar of its grand list to pay bounties to soldiers. The records of the adjutant general of Vermont show that in Feb- ruary, 1866, the selectmen certified that Rockingham had expended $81,480.72 in support of the war.
Following is a list of the taxable incomes of the fifty- four citizens of Rockingham whose income in the year 1863 was large enough so that they were taxed under what was known as the "Special Income Tax." The joint resolution of Congress imposing this special war tax required that it should embrace income from all sources including salary or pay of government officials, incomes from bank and insur- ance stock in excess of $600, and all other national and state taxes and insurance. Only eight of the fifty-four are now living.

For many years previous to the Civil war the citizens of Bellows Falls had owned a cannon of some size which had done duty upon Fourth of July celebrations, and in celebrating important events. During the war it was often used to express the' joy of the people over any important Union , victory. It was last used in celebrating the Gettysburg victory, and the next day its whereabouts became a mystery. It was not found until August 24, 1868, when workmen in dredging the canal brought it to the surface from the bottom. It was always generally understood that some of the local sympathizers with the southern cause threw it into the canal during the night following the victory.
During the last years of the war much fear was entertained locally that raids similar to the St. Albans raid might extend as far south as Bellows Falls, and for some months an or- ganized body of local men, numbering seventy, guarded the streets by night in squads of seven men each. They had a headquarters room in the north store of Farr's block between Rockingham and Canal streets, using it for an arsenal also, and for a time there were one thousand Belgian muskets stored there. The only arrest made was that of a lunatic who one night escaped from his keeper on one of the night trains. He jumped into the canal and disappeared, but some hours later was discovered by the patrol clinging to some bushes under a stump that was in the canal about opposite what was then known as the old "organ factory." A few men are still living who took part in this patrol and they tell interesting anecdotes of the laughable errors made in apprehending belated business men, and many frights occasioned by rumors of the coming of the enemy.
