THE MILITARY HISTORY OF VVATERVILLE. 
 
 Its record in the Revolution— the War of 1812— The Aroostook War— 
 the Mexican, Spanish and Philippine Wars, with rosters of soldiers 
 who have served in each, military records, etc.— also sketch of the 
 Waterville Soldiers' Monument Association and of W. S. Heath Post,

 By Brevet Bric. General Isaac Sparrow Bangs. 
 
 Of all the magnificent pageants this country has ever seen, 
 from its settlement to the present year, none in point of interest 
 can compare to the grand review of the armies of the Union on 
 May 23 and 24, 1865. 
 
 The most causeless, cruel, bloody war in the world's history 
 had just been brought to a triumphant close by the surrender of 
 the army of Northern Virginia, under General Robert E. Lee, to 
 General Grant, at Appomattox, April 9th, and the surrender of 
 Johnston's and all confederate armies east of the Mississippi by 
 the military convention of April 26th. 
 
 The identical flag that was lowered from the flagstaff of Fort 
 Sumter by Major Robert Anderson April 14, 1861, was floating 
 over Fort Sumter again, having been raised by Brevet Major 
 General Robert Anderson on the 14th of April, 1865 ; the fourth 
 anniversary to commemorate in the most fitting manner the 
 restoration of national authority on the spot where the great 
 rebellion was first inaugurated. 
 
 On the evening of that same day. President Lincoln had fallen 
 a victim to the hate engendered by the war, by the bullet of John 
 Wilkes Booth, at Ford's theatre in Washington. 
 
 May i8th, by Special Orders No. 239, war department, adju- 
 tant general's office, a grand review by General Grant, President 
 Johnson and cabinet, was ordered of all the armies then near 
 Washington; to take place May 23rd and 24th. These great 
 armies had bivouacked in the streets of the capital the previous 
 night, and when the hour arrived, the army of the Potomac led 
 the way around the capitol, down Pennsylvania avenue, out past

 the reviewing stand at the White House ; passing for the last 
 time as regimental organizations before their beloved com- 
 mander. 
 
 With tattered flags, faded uniforms, marks of battle and 
 exposure ; but keen-eyed, alert, bronzed, they swung along with 
 elastic stride in close column by division ; cheered by thousands 
 who gloried in their loyalty, their victories and final triumph. 
 
 These were the men of Antietam, Fredericksburg, Gettysburg, 
 the Wilderness and Spottsylvania, whose undaunted courage had 
 stood between their country and ruin, between their flag and dis- 
 honor, for four long years ; — the men whose exultant faces were 
 set toward home. 
 
 The 24th brought Sherman's splendid army, who in a cam- 
 paign of two thousand miles of marching and fighting had cut 
 the confederacy in twain, and joined Grant at the Nation's cap- 
 ital. Sixty-five thousand bronzed veterans who had won each 
 a blazonry for his "shield without device" at Chattanooga, Dal- 
 ton, Resaca, Kenesaw, or Atlanta, — in the army of the Tennessee 
 under Howard, — in the army of Georgia under Slocum, — in the 
 army of the Ohio under Schofield, or in the cavalry division with 
 Kilpatrick. 
 
 For two entire days these marching hosts filled Washington's 
 streets ; serried ranks of glistening steel with touches of color in 
 the tattered flags they had carried for four long years and loved 
 so well ; martial music, songs, shouts of welcome, and ringing 
 cheers filled the air with sovmd ; while the hearts of the welcom- 
 ing thousands were overflowing with gladness that peace had 
 come at last and "come to stay." 
 
 The effect of this moving military pageant must be lost, except 
 as an historical incident, to the generation born since the war; 
 but to those then living it bore tremendous significance. No one 
 can ever know, who was not then living, the tumultuous joy of 
 the people over the close of the war and the return of the men 
 who had saved the country. 
 
 It may well be asked by those who do not know : '"If the War 
 of the Rebellion ended with so much rejoicing, by what fanfare 
 was it inaugurated ?" 
 
 We will turn back the pages of history for four years and stand 
 in the streets of the village of Waterville, the embryo city of 
 
WATERVILLE IN THE WAR. 5 
 
 to-dav, just forty-one years ago. It is not the purpose of this 
 article to describe the physical changes that man and "God hath 
 wrought." Indeed, these have been so insidious, so gradual, and 
 at the same time so radical, that old things have become new. 
 Even the people are new! One wonders where the old buildings 
 are, since one misses them, — and the old faces ; just like any 
 child who puzzles his wits to know where all the moons go. 
 
 It is impossible not to remember that the enduring quality of 
 its buildings was then represented by a few unpretentious brick 
 stores: the Ticonic row, Getchell block, the Noyes( Phoenix) 
 block, the Boutelle, the Morrill, and the one " where David 
 Webb traded," and just replaced by the Flood block. As for the 
 others, they were more or less pretentious frames, and have been 
 moved — no one can remember zvhen or Jiozv, and handsome brick 
 blocks fill their places. The old stores can be found out on back 
 streets metamorphosed into dwellings with front piazzas, bow 
 windows, and new paint, — "spruced up" like a widower with a 
 second wife. 
 
 The popular resorts in the late 50s and the 60s were "the hard- 
 ware store." John Caffrey's, and the gymnasium, which stood on 
 the site of the post office block. At the gymnasium, the evening 
 classes were popular and comprised representative men of the 
 town; life-long friends who had "Lived and loved together 
 through many a changing year," and stood shoulder to shoulder 
 in support of the government and in sympathy with the soldier, 
 through all the weary days of the tedious months, of the terrible 
 years of the war. Among these were Edwin Noyes, Dr. Bou- 
 telle, Charles M. Morse, Jones Elden, Nathaniel and John 
 Meader, C. R. McFadden, John and William CafTrey, W. B. 
 Arnold, Joshua Nye, George Robinson, G. A. Phillips, J. P. Hill, 
 William Blunt, A. A. Plaisted, Simeon Keith, E. G. Meader and 
 I. S. Bangs ; names to conjure with ; of men who controlled pub- 
 lic sentiment and stood for law and order always and every- 
 where. 
 
 A history of "Waterville in the war" would be incomplete 
 without mentioning a few of the prominent older men : 
 
 Hon. D. L. Milliken, Gen. Franklin vSmith, F. D. Haviland, 
 Major Samuel Appleton, Dr. D. N. Sheldon, Dr. J. T. Champlin, 
 John Ware, Julius Alden, William and Walter Getchell, R. B.

 Dunn, John Webber, Prof. George Keeley, — noble men of wise 
 counsels and great hearts, whose waking thoughts when conflict 
 was joined, were always with our armies ; whose "purse and 
 pen" sustained the government and encouraged the leaders to 
 final victory and peace. 
 
 The years in which these men lived and wrought have gone 
 where the roses go ; many have crossed the river, but the influ- 
 ence of their lives and their loyalty in "the times that tried men's 
 souls," has left a fragrant memory with those that knew them. 
 
 As for the questions the solution of which was so important 
 to the great Republic of to-day, it may be said : God wrought 
 them out in his own way, in his own appointed time, through the 
 Civil War, and they were settled forever. 
 
 The first rebel gun fired at Fort Sumter, April 12, 1861, roused 
 all the latent patriotism of the North, united all parties or, better, 
 obliterated all parties, and when the President's call of April 15th 
 for 75,000 men was flashed over the wires, the enthusiasm was 
 so great that a million men would have offered .their services if 
 required, and they could have been armed and fed. 
 
 In Waterville a recruiting office was opened in the office of 
 Joshua Nye, then treasurer of the old Androscoggin and Ken- 
 nebec Railroad Company, on the second floor of the Hanscom 
 block, corner of Elm and Main streets, on the morning of April 
 i6th, the day following the call of President Lincoln. 
 
 Charles A. Henrickson, then an undergraduate at Waterville 
 College, was the first to sign the roll as a volunteer from Water- 
 ville, and his patriotic zeal and his exaltation as a new volunteer 
 proved so irresistibly contagious at the college that the classes 
 and recitations were broken up. Finally, to save the classes, 
 the president and faculty voted to close the college temporarily. 
 
 Another recruiting office was opened on the second floor of 
 the Plaisted building, which now stands on Charles street. This 
 was in charge of William S. Heath, his brother PVank E. Heath, 
 and J. H. Plaisted, who were the first to volunteer there, and each 
 arrived at distinction in the service. 
 
 In a few days the companies were filled and began squad and 
 company drill in our streets ; were soon ordered to Augusta into 
 camp, and on June 4th were mustered into the service of the 
 United States as Companies G and H of the Third Maine Infan- 
 
WATERVILLK IN THE WAR. 7 
 
 try Volunteers. Company G was commanded by Frank S. Hes- 
 seltine, with Nathaniel Hanscom ist lieutenant and William A. 
 Hatch 2nd lieutenant. Company H was commanded by W. S 
 Heath, with F. E. Heath as ist lieutenant and John R. Day as 
 2nd lieutenant. 
 
 O. O. Howard was appointed colonel of the regiment, and on 
 the 5th of June he was ordered to Washington with his com- 
 mand, carrying with him, as Waterville's first contingent, 
 seventy-four of her boys into the maelstrom of war. 
 
 Meantime, apprehending the embarrassment under which the 
 general government would labor to defend itself against the 
 organized rebellion of the South, the legislature of Maine, at an 
 extra session called to consider and provide for the exigencies of 
 the hour, determined to furnish the government at the earliest 
 moment with ten regiments fully armed and equipped, from the 
 enrolled but unarmed militia of 60,000 men, to serve for two 
 years. This act was passed and approved April 25th. 
 
 How the men who voted for this measure expected to arm and 
 equip these men, tJicy never knew, biit they did know it must be 
 
 done. 
 
 Thus the regiments from the ist to the loth inclusive were 
 organized by this act of the legislature, and all succeeding organ- 
 izations by the general government or by its authority. 
 
 It must be borne in mind that the ist Regiment Maine Infantry 
 had been mustered into service for three months at Portland 
 May 4th, and the 2nd Regiment Maine Infantry mustered at 
 Bangor May 28th, and both sent at once to the front. 
 
 The 3rd was mustered June 5th; the 4th June 15th; the 5th 
 June 24th ; the 6th July isth ; the 7th August 21st ; the 8th Sep- 
 tember 7th ; the 9th September 22nd ; the loth October 4th ; the 
 nth November 4th: the 12th November 15th; the 13th Novem- 
 ber 20th; the 14th December nth; the 15th December 17th; the 
 first cavalry October iQth, and six batteries; making with five 
 companies of sharpshooters and coast guards*, 16,669 men ; and 
 of this number Waterville furnished 121 in 1861. 
 
 Waterville College furnished from its ahimni and undergrad- 
 uate classes the following list of patriotic young men for Com- 
 
 *The U. S. Government credited tlie State of Maine with 18,875 for the year 1861.

 pany G, 3rd Maine: Charles A. Henrickson, class of 1864; 
 William E. lirown, class of 1864; George H. Bassett, class of 
 1864, died in service; Atwood Crosby, class of 1864; Moses W. 
 Young, class of 1864; E. P. Stearns, class of 1864, died in ser- 
 vice; Frank vS. Hesseltine, class of 1863; A. C. Hinds, class of 
 1863, died in service; Samuel Hamblen, class of 1862; Amasa 
 Bigelow, Jr., class of 1862 ; J. A. Philbrook, class of 1862 ; Wil- 
 liam A. Hatch, class of 1861. 
 
 For Company H, 3rd Maine: W. S. Heath, class of 1855. 
 killed in battle; Francis E. Heath, class of 1858. 
 
 These companies received their baptism of fire at Bull Run, 
 July 21, 1861, and of the above-named, C. A. Henrickson and 
 Atwood Crosby were taken prisoners there ; the latter a voluntary 
 one to care for his brother who was shot through the lungs.* 
 
 David Bates was mortally wounded, taken prisoner and died 
 at Richmond, Va., the first Waterville soldier killed ; and a num- 
 ber of the Waterville contingent were wounded and captured. 
 
 During the year the following changes were made in the line 
 and non-commissioned officers : 
 
 Capt. Frank S. Hesseltine, promoted November 14th to major 
 of the 13th Maine. 
 
 Lieut. Nath'l Hanscom, promoted November 15th to captain 
 of his company. 
 
 2nd Lieut. W. A. Hatch, promoted November 15th to ist lieu- 
 tenant of his company. 
 
 Capt. W. S. Heath was promoted lieutenant colonel 5th regi- 
 ment, September 25th. 
 
 Lieut. F. E. Heath was promoted captain of his own Com- 
 pany H. 
 
 2nd Lieut. Jno. R. Day was promoted ist lieutenant of his 
 own company. 
 
 1st Sergt. E. C. Lowe was promoted 2nd lieutenant of his 
 own company, and 
 
 * Henrickson was a prisoner eleven montlis in Libby and Salisbury prisons and 
 the Parish prison in Nfew Orleans; was exchangecl and returned to Waterville. In 
 '63 he enlisted in the navy, and was promoted to Ensign. While serving as gun- 
 ner in the turret of the monitor Saugus, in the second attack on Fort Fisher, one 
 of the 15-inch Rodman guns exploded, prostrating the executive officer and sev- 
 enteen men in the turret, wounding every man except Henrickson, but, miracu- 
 lously, killing none.

 Sergt. J. H. Plaisted was promoted ist sergeant of his own 
 company. 
 
 These were the changes and casualties of our neighbors and 
 friends at the front for the year i86t, in Companies G and H, 
 3rd Maine. 
 
 Of the boys from our State, 188 were killed or died of disease 
 or wounds, and 165 were prisoners or missing. 
 
 The excitement, the ten thousand details of the recruiting, 
 arming, equipping, and transportation of ]\Iaine troops to the seat 
 of war ; their military discipline there ; the campaigns, battles, 
 skirmishes, marches, sickness and deaths among these Maine 
 boys in that first year of the war, filled the minds of the men and 
 women of our town, and of the State, to the almost total exclu- 
 sion of all else, except sympathy for those who mourned the loss 
 of loved ones, and sympathy for the sick, suffering, homesick, 
 heartsick boys who lingered in the populous hospitals where 
 parting life was laid. 
 
 No sooner had our first contingent, Companies G and H, b.'^en 
 uniformed at Augusta, than with natural instinct, devotion and 
 helpfulness, the women of Waterville commenced their arduous 
 duties of picking lint, making bandages, seeking contributions of 
 money for hospital stores for soldiers in camp in our State, in 
 the field and general hospitals ; and these duties were continuous, 
 untiring, during the war. Commencing in the modest home — 
 individual labor, sympathy and love, developed into the town, 
 county, State and general organizations that spent fabulous sums 
 for the sick and wounded, relieving distress in ways never before 
 known. 
 
 The approximate estimate of Waterville's contributions in 
 money, hospital stores, etc., in public channels, from 1861 to 
 1865 is : 
 
 To soldiers in Maine camps and hospitals. . . . $600 00 
 
 To general hospitals in loyal states 300 00 
 
 To regimental hospitals and individuals 350 00 
 
 To New York, Philadelphia, Boston, etc 200 00 
 
 To United States Sanitary Commission 400 00 
 
 To United States Christian Commission 1,500 00 
 
 To aid to 652 persons in 215 families 10,234 42 
 
 $13,584 42 
 
10 WATlvRVJLLE IN THF WAR. 
 
 The modest beginning's of individuals and local associations 
 of relief grew so helpful, so necessary, and finally so vast in 
 scope, as to eclipse any and all efforts before or since made to 
 supplement the hospital service of the army in its efforts to alle- 
 viate suffering. Contributions were enormous. Government 
 was calling for the last man and the last dollar to saz'e the coun- 
 try, and to those at home money seemed worthless -without coun- 
 try, flag, and honor. 
 
 In her "Epistle to Posterity" Mrs. Sherwood says : "Dr. Bel- 
 lows was president of the Sanitary Commission, and I became 
 secretary to the xMetropolitan Fair and wrote innumerable letters 
 to all our representatives in Europe. All answered well. After 
 a winter's work we sent Dr. Bellows one million three hnndred 
 and sixty-five dollars in one check, as the result of our work."* 
 
 Among the many schemes for the benefit of our soldiers in the 
 field was a plan for transmitting their pay or a portion of it to 
 their families at home, authorized by General Orders No. 8i, 
 war department, adjutant general's office, September 19, 1861, 
 by "Allotment Rolls," to be signed by the soldier who designated 
 his assignee, his address, and the amount per month to be 
 reserved. These rolls were transmitted by company and regi- 
 mental officers to the paymaster general, and by him to the dis- 
 tributors or trustees appointed by the governor, who generously 
 and patriotically consented not only to act without compensation, 
 but to give bonds to Nathan Dane and John S. Hodsdon in the 
 sum of $15,000 each for the faithful performance of their duties. 
 
 The volunteer trustee for VVaterville and vicinity was Homer 
 Percival, Esc|., cashier of the Peoples' Bank, who performed the 
 onerous duties of this office during the war, although many of 
 these trustees resigned their offices, finding the duties too 
 exacting. 
 
 The amount received and distributed by banks and private 
 individuals as trustees in these allotment rolls prior to the trans-

 fer of a part of these duties to the State treasurer by act of the 
 legislature, and the few who continued to discharge those duties 
 without compensation, must amount to some hundreds of thou- 
 sands of dollars. 
 
 The State treasurer^ alone received and disbursed $559,526.37. 
 
 It could only gratify idle curiosity, to indicate how much of 
 this sum came to VVaterville from our boys in the field, and in 
 what years, and the suggestion is only made to show how impos- 
 sible it is to-day to group events chronologically, which most 
 interest us locally. Our neighbors and friends joined this or 
 that regiment and lost their identity in the Grand Army of the 
 Republic, that for four long years held in its grasp, not only the 
 destiny of this Nation, but the fate of Liberty and good govern- 
 ment throughout the globe, an army which knew no law but 
 Loyalty, no thought but obedience ; an army that served under as 
 many commanders as it fought campaigns ; yet marched as 
 cheerfully and fought as loyally under the new commander as 
 under the old ; an army that fought over more miles of ground 
 than most continental armies ever marched over ; an army bap- 
 tized in blood, consecrated in tears, and hallowed in prayers. 
 
 In such a school, the fathers of this generation, were taught 
 what loyalty meant ; what our flag symbolized ; while the 
 mothers sat with sorrow and wrought with busy hands and tear- 
 ful eyes. 
 
 From homes of peaceful traditions ; lives of peaceful pursuits ; 
 our Waterville boys stood up to be counted ''for three years or 
 for the war" — anxious to do their duty. 
 
 Waterville was represented in each of the fifteen infantry regi- 
 ments sent out in '61, except the 2nd, 4th, and 12th; as also in 
 the 1st Cavalry and the 4th Battery, as follows : 
 
 One in the ist Infantry; seventy-four in the 3rd Infantry; 
 three in the 5th Infantry ; one in the 6th Infantry ; eight in the 
 7th Infantry ; fourteen in the 8th Infantry ; three in the 9th 
 Infantry; one in the loth Infantry; two in the nth Infantry; 
 one in the 13th Infantry; one in the 14th Infantry; one in the 
 15th Infantry ; four in the First Cavalry ; one in the 4th Battery. 
 
 In 1862 Waterville furnished 102 volunteers for the twelve 
 regiments of infantry and one regiment of heavy artillery, besides, 
 recruits, as follows :

 Waterville furnished for the two regiments of infantry and one 
 of cavalry in 1863: Four for the 29th Infantry; sixteen for the 
 
WATERVILLK IN THE WAR. 1 3 
 
 30th Infantry; two for the 2nd Cavalry; and in 1864: Seven- 
 teen for the 31st Infantry; three for the 32nd Infantry; and 
 many recruits for all the regiments and batteries in the field, the 
 unassigned companies, the coast guards and naval service. 
 
 The figures given for 1 861 -2-3-4 being for the regiments, etc., 
 as originally sent to the field, but these and all subsequent allot- 
 ments of men under the President's call, were always up to the 
 requirements. 
 
 In 1861 more than its share was furnished, of men who 
 received no bounty from the government and the town received 
 no credit for the excess. 
 
 The enlistments from Waterville for the years 1861 and 1862 
 can be quite accurately determined, but to ascertain the actual 
 enlistments in any succeeding year, to include recruits, drafted 
 men, and substitutes, is a task of such magnitude that it will 
 never be undertaken, because the results are unimportant and 
 not commensurate with the labor. 
 
 The quotas of Waterville and all the other towns and cities 
 for 1863 and subsequent calls were not apportioned to such 
 municipalities, but to the respective provost marshals, districts, 
 sub-districts or to congressional districts, and no adequate record 
 of these apportionments exists. 
 
 The foregoing figures show that the enlistments for the origi- 
 nal companies in different organizations of named men were 121 
 in 1861 ; 102 in 1862; 22 in 1863: and 20 in 1864; while the 
 alphabetical list printed herewith gives the names of 421 men; 
 showing that 156 more men joined these organizations as recruits 
 during these four years, or one in nine of the entire population in 
 1861. 
 
 Waterville paid in bounties for enlistments as follows : 
 Call of 1 86 1 Nothing 
 
 1862 3 years men $4,700

14 WATKRVILLF, IN THE WAR. 
 
 Out of the 400 estimated alumni and undergraduates of Water- 
 ville (now Colby) College in 1865, 142 entered service during 
 the war. 
 
 Thirty-eight members of Waterville Masonic Lodge entered 
 service and seven were killed in battle. 
 
 The State of Maine furnished 72,945 men for the war. The 
 total number of troops killed or died of wounds was 2,801. The 
 total number of troops who died of disease was 4,521. Total, 
 7,322, or about one in ten of the men who enlisted. 
 
 The losses in naval service are not here included. 
 
 It is impossible for the present generation to realize the danger, 
 the privation, the suffering" of those whom we knew ; who went 
 out from among us ; or the agonizing suspense of the mothers, 
 wives, sisters and daughters who were left at home; of their 
 waiting, fearing, hoping, as the long campaigns followed each 
 other, leaving in their trail, waste, ruin and lonely graves. 
 
 And when battle was on, their faith in God was almost a pre-

 fell and were thrown into trenches without prayer, or died in hos- 
 pital and prison and drifted away into the dawning eternities.

24 VVATERVILLK TN THE: WAR. 
 
 Tears will well to our eyes, 
 And the bitter doubt will rise- 
 But hush ! for the strife is clone, 
 Forgiven are wound and sear; 
 The fight was fought and won 
 Long since, on sea and shoie, 
 And every scattered star 
 Set in the blue once more; 
 We are one as before, 
 With the blot from our scutcheon gone ! " 
 
 The writer began more than four years ago, the preparation of 
 a Hst of the soldiers who served in the Civil War from the town 
 of Waterville ; intending to print the same for distribution among 
 our citizens. 
 
 It has been a fascinating pursuit, a labor of love ; better, a 
 tribute to the living and the dead of our brave volunteers. 
 
 In pursuit of detailed information in regard to the militarv 
 record of different soldiers, inquiry developed interesting statis- 
 tics in regard to previous wars in which this country has been 
 engaged and in which citizens of Waterville bore a part. These 
 have accumulated until they cover something of the details of 
 the Revolutionary War, the War of 1812, the Aroostook War, 
 the Mexican War, the War of the Rebellion, the War with Spain 
 and the Phillippine U'ar. All too long, the preservation of prec- 
 ious material has been delayed. What has been secured the 
 writer hopes will prove of interest if printed here. 
 
 Sixty years ago, more than a score of Revolutionary soldiers 
 lived here, who carried all the material in their memory, for a 
 record of their lives. 
 
 Fifty years ago the War of 1812 could have been intelligently 
 rehearsed by men living. The same is true of the Mexican. 
 The facts, so important historically and so difficult of proof 
 to-day, were rehearsed for years by men whose memory was 
 better than books. 
 
 Survivors of the Civil War, who went from Waterville, are 
 scattered far and wide over the length and breadth of this coun- 
 try and will never return. 
 
 The feeling of the writer has been, that it was a duty someone 
 owed to the boys of '61 ; the least of whom, from here, took his 
 life in his hand with his rifle, and living or dead deserves a 
 record. 
 
WATERVILL15 IN THE WAR. 25 
 
 The simple alphabetical list indicates little of the labor required 
 to perfect it, or the great expense of research, copying and 
 recopying, typewriting and material. It is not claimed to-day 
 as perfect, but perfection has been aimed at, and if any one who 
 is interested can discover an error, the writer will be grateful for 
 information. 
 
 The list contains the name of every soldier who enlisted from 
 Waterville, or who, having been born and reared here, left home, 
 and when war was declared enlisted in another town or state. 
 
 The writer trusts the citizens of Waterville will appreciate the 
 list and the labor. 
 
 Grateful acknowledgments are tendered to the very able and 
 soldierly Adjutant-General John T. Richards, and his chief clerk, 
 Thomas Clark, for valuable information and careful revision of 
 the list, as well as to the courteous Colonel F. C. Ainsworth, 
 chief, Record and Pension office of the war department, for valu- 
 able advice and prompt and painstaking replies to all inquiries. 
 
 Much kindness has also been shown the wTiter by Hon. Wm. 
 M. Olin, secretary of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, to 
 whom thanks are due for Civil War and Revolutionary records.

34 WATERVILLE IN THE WAR. 
 
 Recapitulation. 
 
 Waterville furnished 525 soldiers during the Civil War, 
 according to Adjutant-General's Report (page 24-1864-5) and 
 yet the above list includes every name that can be found in town 
 or State records, and numbers but 421. 
 
 The great discrepancy between these figures and the credits 
 allowed this town by the Adjutant-General, occurs in several 
 ways : 
 
 First : Many non-residents and foreigners were enlisted and 
 ■credited on the town's quota whose enlistment papers would 
 show some other residence, and would thus only count in the 
 summary of town credits. 
 
 Second : A further discrepancy is caused by the commis- 
 sioners of equalization refusing to credit the town ; men orig- 
 inally placed to their credit, and in refusing to credit commis- 
 sioned officers. 
 
 All calls for men by the President prior to July 2nd, 1862, were 
 filled by voluntary enlistments, promiscuously ; cities, towns and 
 plantations not being called upon to furnish their proportional 
 number of the State's allotment. 
 
 Men enlisting prior to July 2nd, 1862, were not credited upon 
 the quota of any city or town in the State, but were simply placed 
 upon the lists of names and classified to the cities and towns in 
 which they resided. 
 
 Elaine furnished more than her allotment of men under the 
 President's calls in 1861 and had great difficulty in inducing the 
 Government to accept two of her regiments of infantry and the 
 1st Maine Cavalry. Waterville furnished more than her share, 
 but never received any credit for the excess. 
 
 Of the list furnished the commissioners of equalization by the 
 municipal officers of Waterville, they allowed 171 three years 
 men, i two years man, 50 one year men, 42 nine months men. 
 
 Making a total of 264 men subsequent to July 2, 1862, and 
 allowed a credit for same of $19,883.33. 
 
 Third : The town secured an additional credit for each re-en- 
 listment, while but one name appears for the two. 
 
 Fourth : The twenty-six "paper men" from Mr. 
 
 through J. P. Deering & Company, for which Joseph Percival, 
 
VVATERVILLE IN THE WAR. 35 
 
 1st selectman, paid $11,050, and ten "paper men" from Pike & 
 Colby, for which Mr. Percival paid $4,250. 
 
 As this brings up the whole corruption of the "Paper credit" 
 scandal, some explanation is necessary. 
 
 When the question of strengthening the armies of the Union 
 was a simple one, of life or death with the Government, certain 
 well known substitute brokers appeared in Augusta with lists 
 of names which they claimed were those of men already in ser- 
 vice not assigned to any quota. 
 
 These were offered to officers and agents of towns and munici- 
 palities of Maine who were looking for men to fill their quota 
 and re-enforce our depleted Regiments. Where these substi- 
 tute brokers obtained these lists of names ; — by what villainous 
 connivance and corruption the necessary authority was procured 
 to enable the proper officers to certify officially to municipal 
 officers on their quotas, hundreds of names of men who never 
 existed, — without residence as required by law, without date of 
 enlistment ; — to certify even to two, ten or twenty recruits to a 
 town without ony names, — will never be known. 
 
 No one will ever know how much money the cities and towns 
 of Maine were swindled out of by these ghouls of living and 
 dead soldiers, because no one will ever know how many "paper 
 men" were sold to them ; but the commissioners, report "an 
 aggregate of 1,380 after deducting the '251 list' said to have 
 been gratuitously distributed by the Governor of Maine." 
 
 Mr. Pike, the member of Congress from the 5th District, 
 speaking in the debate in the National Plouse of Representa- 
 tives in February, 1865, on this matter, said ; "But worse than 
 this : — credits have been given by these States when no men have 
 ez'er been furnished, anyzi'liere, by anybody." 
 
 "Bold frauds !" "Paper men have been substituted for sailors, 
 and up to this time 50% more sailors have been credited to the 
 different states than there are in the Navy altogether." 
 
 Under date of Sept. ist, 1864, Provost Marshal Gen. Frye, 
 writes to Major Gardner, A. A. P. Marshal General at Augusta: 
 "On examination of the records of the navy, I find only 158 men 
 have been enlisted in the State of Maine during the Rebellion ! I 
 desire to call your attention to this fact;" and yet in December, 
 
36 WATERVILLE IN THE WAR. 
 
 same year, he approves and gives authenticity to the "251 Hst," 
 from one vessel, — the Ohio. 
 
 In Provost Marshal General's criticism of our Commissioners' 
 Report he writes: "It looks like sharp practice, to say the least 
 of it, for the authorities in Maine to have sought and accepted 
 paper credits and to have openly and voluntarily paid large sums 
 of money to scoundrels for their part in preparing them." 
 
 This is one of the stereotyped excuses of the gang. 
 
 Speaking of the "251 list" of Mr. , the Committee 
 
 say : "The men were not residents of Maine, or aliens enlisted 
 here, and there was no law or general order by which they could 
 be put to the credit of towns in Maine ;" and again, "Perhaps it 
 is fairly inferable from what we have of Mr. 's testi- 
 mony, that he had some agency in procuring this 'Special Order.* 
 
 "It turned out that he had a very strong personal interest in 
 procuring such, for he seems to have sold to Deering & Company, 
 alone, 121 of these men (names) for $47,400; and if he sold the 
 rest at the same rate, his gross sales must have amounted to more 
 than $100,000." ("Paper Credits" by Hon. George F. Talbot 
 and Gen. Selden Connor, Commissioners, under "Resolves of the 
 Legislature" approved March 24, 1870.)

 Maine sent this great army of her sons to the field, sealed with 
 the traditions of their ancestors for courage and devotion ; boys 
 half of them, who passed straight from their mother's arms to 
 the embrace of war. 
 
 There they left more than 7,000 of their number in known and 
 unknown graves, among the hills and valleys of the South ; 
 buried where they fell ; buried from the hospitals in camp and 
 field or from the great hospitals of the cities, despite the devotion 
 of heroic women ; buried from the prison pens of the South, 
 where they perished so miserably of exposure, starvation, deli- 
 rium and despair ; husbands, fathers, lovers, sons, comrades, 
 friends ; the patriotic, the brave, the true.

 They are our uncalendared heroes. The language of their 
 lives is written in the annals of our country. They helped with 
 point of sword or bayonet to pen a chapter in American history 
 that will be read while patriotism is honored or liberty cherished.

 BOUNTlIvS. 
 
 The 1st Regiment of Infantry was enlisted for two years, 
 though mustered into the United States service for three months 
 only. The $22 bounty was paid to this organization. The 2nd 
 Regiment of Infantry was enlisted and mustered into the United 
 States service for two years, and received only the same State 
 bounty as the ist Regiment. Having originally some two hun- 
 dred more men than the First, and recruits who enlisted when 
 large bounties were paid, the aggregate amount of State bounty 
 paid it, is much more than that to the First. 
 
 The 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, and 9th Regiments of Infantry 
 were enlisted and mustered into the United States service for 
 three years. They received the $22 State bounty at their muster 
 into service. The re-enlisted men and some recruits of 1864 for 
 those regiments received $300 State bounty. Recruits of 1862 
 and 1863 for those regiments received $55 State bounty. 
 
 The loth Regiment was designed to be a re-organization of 
 the 1st Regiment, which owed twenty-one months service to the 
 government. The few men of the ist Regiment who recognized 
 their continuing liability to government under their enlistment, 
 received no State bounty at the muster into United States ser- 
 vice of this regiment ; the remainder were paid the State bounty 
 of $22. Fifty-five dollars State bounty was paid to recruits for 
 three years service who were assigned to this regiment. 
 
 The nth, I2th, 13th, 14th, and 15th Regiments of Infantry 
 received no State bounty whatever. The amounts exhibited as 
 
40 WATERVILLE IN THE WAR. 
 
 paid to them were received by their recruits and re-enlisted men, 
 in sums of from $55 to $300. 
 
 Th i6th, 17th, i8th, 19th and 20t]i Reg^iments of Infantry 
 were paid a State bounty of $45. Recruits for these regiments 
 were paid from $55 to $300 State bounty, except the i8th, which 
 early ceased to exist as an infantry org-anization. and became the 
 1st Heavy Artillery, the recruits for which, as will be seen, were 
 paid less than $100,000, mostly in $55 bounties. 
 
 The 21 St, 22nd, 23rd. 24th, 25th, 26th, 27th and 28th Regi- 
 ments of Infantry were enlisted and mustered into the United 
 States service for nine months, and were paid no State bounty. 
 
 The 29th and 30th Regiments of Infantry received $100 State 
 bounty. 
 
 The 31st and 32nd Regiments of Infanti-y were paid from $100 
 to $300 State bounty, their organization extending over the 
 period during which these widely varying State bounties of from 
 $100 to $300 were authorized. These regiments received but 
 very few recruits. Two of the unassigned companies were 
 incorporaed into the 31st Regiment. 
 
 The 1st Veteran Regiment of Infantry was composed largely 
 of the recruits and re-en!isted men of the 5th, 6th and 7th Regi- 
 ments of Infantry, who had received from $55 to $300 State 
 bounty. Enlistments in this regiment proper were paid from 
 $100 to $300 State bounty. ^ 
 
 The 1st Regiment of Heavv Artillery is alluded to above. 
 
 The 1st Regiment of Cavalry was paid no State bounty at its 
 muster mto the United States service. The amount shown was 
 paid its recruits and re-enlisted men in State bounties of from 
 $55 to $300 each. 
 
 The 2nd Regiment of Cavalry was paid $100 State bounty, 
 generally, though some few of the men received more. Its 
 organization was commenced wath a State bounty of $100, but 
 before it was mustered mto the United States service, $300 was 
 authorized. 
 
 The 1st Regiment of D. C, or Baker's Cavalry, was being 
 enlisted from the authorization of $55 boimties to those of $300, 
 though most of the men were paid $100 State bounty. 
 
 The first six batteries of Mounted Artillery received no bounty 
 from the State. Their recruits and re-enlisted men were paid 
 from $55 to $300 State bounty. 
 
WATRRVILLE TN THF, WAR. 4 1 
 
 The 7th Battery received from $100 to $300 State bounty. 
 Coast Guards and unassigned companies received from $100 
 to $300 State bounty. The most of these companies were 
 assigned to regiments in the field. 
 
 Hancock's Corps received $100 State bounty. 
 1st Battalion Sharpshooters received from $100 to $300 State 
 bounty. 
 
 Co. D, 2nd Regiment U. S. Sharpshooters, received ^22 State 
 bounty, and recruits and re-enlisted men from $55 to $300 each. 
 United States' organizations, and those of other states, received 
 from $55 to $300 State bounty. 
 
 The State paid for actual naval enlistments made subsequent 
 to February 2, 1864, of our own citizens duly credited to locali- 
 ties in this State, bounties of $100, $200 and $300, for one, two, 
 or three vears' service, except as stipulated in order of Novem- 
 ber, 1864, confirmed by subsequent statute, that not exceeding 
 $100 should be paid for any period of enlistment not less than 
 one year, if place of recruit's credit had filled all calls without 
 him. This order also applied to enlistments for land service in 
 Maine organizations, as also for those of the government and 
 other states. 
 
 All these State bounty payments were made only for new bona 
 fide enlistments, when the enlistment contract, and descriptive 
 and muster-in-rolls were duly filed in the adjutant general's 
 office, and when entering organizations other than those of Maine 
 volunteers, in addition to the foregoing papers, the place of credit 
 in this State was duly certified by the proper officer having offi- 
 cial knowledge of the enlistment and credit. 
 
 Citizens of this State enlisted in the navy to the credit of local- 
 ities herein, subsequent to February 2, 1864, though credited only 
 by the '-commission," were paid State bounty under the statute 
 if, in addition to the receipts in duplicate invariably required, the 
 enlistment and other papers above specified were filed in the 
 adjutant general's office. It will be observed that a smaller 
 amount of State bounty was paid the original members of the 
 entire first ten regiments of infantry and company of sharp- 
 shooters, the most of whom were mustered into United States 
 service for three years, than was received by a single regiment 
 
42 WATERVILLE IN THE W'AR. 
 
 of infantry two years later for a like enlistment, but a shorter 
 period of service as eventually proved. The original members 
 of thirteen regiments of infantry, one regiment of cavalry, and 
 six batteries of mounted artillery, were paid no State bounty. 
 The original members of five regiments of infantry received $45 
 each. The entire State bounties paid the original members of 
 twenty-eight of our infantry regiments, from the ist to the 28th 
 inclusive, the ist- Cavalry, and first six batteries of Mounted 
 Artillery, amounted to only about .$400,000. All of the re-en- 
 listed men of those organizations (some 4,000 in number received 
 $300 each, State bounty, and some of them a large local bounty 
 in addition thereto, although the same was prohibited by the 
 statute. Many members of the eight regiments for nine months' 
 service are found among the recruits of old regiments in 1864, 
 and received liberal State and local bounties. The same is found 
 to be the case with members of the two "two years" regiments, 
 and a large number of those of other regiments of 1861 and 1862, 
 who were discharged for disability, and upon their recovery 
 enlisted into our old and new organizations and were paid liberal 
 bounties. 
 
 THE PERIOD OF THE WAR. 
 
 It is not generally known that the War of the Rebellion did not 
 begin or close at the same time in all the states. The dates of 
 the commencement and the termination of that war indicated in 
 the opinion of the supreme court of the United States in the case 
 of "The Protector" which is reported in 12 Wallace, 700, 
 and is in substance, that the proclamation of the intended block- 
 ade by the President may be assumed as marking the first of 
 these dates, and the proclamation that the war had closed, as 
 marking the second. 
 
 There were two proclamations of intended blockade ; the first 
 of the iQth of April, 1861, embracing the states South Carolina, 
 Georgia, Alabama, Florida, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas ; — 
 the second of the 27th of April, 1861, embracing the states of 
 Virginia and North Carolina ; — and there were two proclama- 
 tions declaring that the war had closed ; — one issued on the 2nd 
 of April, i86(), embracing the states of Virginia, North Caro- 
 
WATERVILLi; IN THE WAR. 43 
 
 lina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Mississippi, Tennessee, 
 Alabama, Louisiana, and Arkansas, and the other issued on the 
 20th of August, 1866, embracing the state of Texas. 
 
 In the absence of more certain criteria, of equally general 
 application we must take the dates of these proclamations as 
 determining the commencement and the close of the war in the 
 states mentioned in them. 
 
 WATERVILLE SOLDIERS MONUMENT ASSOCIATION. 
 
 Many of our citizens still living will recall the terrible days of 
 the war ; when battle was on and victory hung in the balance ; 
 when care for the sick and wounded, and honoring the dead, was 
 the duty and desire of all the living, — that even then a few of 
 our patriotic citizens inaugurated a plan to raise funds for the 
 erection of a suitable monument to perpetuate the memory of our 
 dead soldiers. 
 
 The inception and successful prosecution of this plan is due 
 to the patriotism and untiring energy of Mr. G. A. Phillips, as 
 to him more than any man living here to-day or who has ever 
 lived here is due the present prosperity of Waterville. 
 
 The following facts, copied from the records of the Waterville 
 Monument Association, will interest our older citizens, and 
 should interest the younger. 
 
 "On the evening of the 14th of March, 1864, a concert was 
 given in this village, the proceeds of which, by previous 
 announcement, were to be donated in aid of erecting a suitable 
 monument to the memory of our soldiers who had fallen in 
 defence of the Union, or who should thereafter lose their lives in 
 the same patriotic service. 
 
 The names of these performers, which all will agree should 
 appear upon the first page of this record, were : Mrs. J. E. Dow, 
 Miss A. M. Bates, Miss C. M. Barney, Miss L. S. Carroll, Miss 
 E. Piper, Miss H. C. Marston, Miss S. E. Ransted, Mr. Wm. A. 
 Cafifrey, Mr. S. C. Marston, Mr. J. R. Pitman, Mr. G. A. Phillips. 
 
 During the intermission, a proposition to form a permanent 
 organization for the more speedy and certain accomplishment of 
 the work was introduced ; and after some explanations and dis- 
 
44 WATERVILLK IN THE WAR. 
 
 cussion, a committee was chosen to prepare a plan of organiza- 
 tion, to be submitted at a future meeting", with a Hst of officers, 
 etc. The following gentlemen were put upon this committee : 
 
 J. Nye, J. B. Foster, G. A. Phillips, E. G. Header, and C. M. 
 Morse. 
 
 A second concert in aid of this object was given by the same 
 individuals on the evening of the 23rd of the same month, at 
 which time the committee named above reported a constitution, 
 which was unanimously adopted. The following list of candi- 
 dates was also presented, and after the adoption of the constitu- 
 tion, they were chosen to the several offices for which they were 
 severally designated. 
 
 G. A. Phillips, president ; Wm. A. Caffrey, vice-president ; 
 Daniel R. Wing, secretary ; Geo. L. Robinson, treasurer ; Jones 
 R. Elden, E. G. Meader, C. M. Morse, trustees. 
 
 Article 2 of the constitution reads as follows : "The object 
 of this association shall be to procure the erection, at such time 
 and in such place within the town as shall hereafter be desig- 
 nated, of a suitable monument in honor of those of our fellow- 
 citizens, residents of Waterville, who shall have died in the mili- 
 tarv or naval service of the United States during the present 
 war." 
 
 Appended to the constitution are the names of ninety-two 
 persons. 
 
 A second benefit concert was given in 1865 and efrorts were 
 made to secure a contribution of one dollar from each citizen 
 for the association. 
 
 'At .M ;•; ^ ^ ;{; :;; ^ ^ 
 
 Here occurs a hiatus of nearly ten years, or from November 
 2Q, 1865, to June 14, 1875, during which there is no record of any 
 kind, nor any explanation of the interregnum. 
 
 There were doubtless good reasons, and the first that suggests 
 itself is the effervescence of zeal, as this has occurred in the his- 
 tory of many commemorative monuments ; but the purpose was 
 fixed in the minds of good men and the funds drawing interest. 
 
 In 1875 the fund with accumulated interest amounted to 
 $1,000, this with the Si,ooo voted by the town made $2,000 avail- 
 able for the purpose of the association. The meeting of the 
 association at which such report was made was the last meeting 
 
BREVET BRIG. GEN. FRANCIS E. HEATH. 
 
WATERVILLE IN THF, WAR. 45 
 
 held in the old tozcn hall before it ivas remodeled. This fact 
 Secretary Daniel R. Winof thought was worthy of permanent 
 record. The committee to submit plans and estimates for a 
 monument was as follows : Col. F. E. Heath. Dr. Atwood 
 Crosby, Edwin Noyes, Reuben Foster, J. H. Plaisted. 
 
 This committee recommended the purchase of Milmore's 
 "Citizen Soldier" in bronze, the price to be $2,000. This recom- 
 mendation was accepted and a committee consisting- of the ofifi- 
 cers of the association, Edwin Noyes, Col. I. S. Bangs and J. H. 
 Plaisted, was appointed to procure a suitable monument upon 
 which to place the statue. 
 
 The committee to locate the monument consisted of Nathaniel 
 Header, E. R. Emerson, Miss Florence Plaisted, Miss Roxana 
 Hanscom, Dr. Crosby and ]\lrs. Crosby, C. G. Carleton, M. C. 
 Foster, C. K. Mathews, C. R. McFadden, F. P. Haviland, P. S. 
 Heald, Reuben Foster, W. B. Arnold, Prof. E. W. Hall, Prof. 
 M. Lyford, A. A. Plaisted and Mrs. Plaisted, Dr. N. R. Boutelle 
 and Mrs. Boutelle, E. B. Cummings, E. F. Webb and the officers 
 of the association. 
 
 The following inscriptions were accepted. On the Elm street 
 front, "To the memory of the Soldiers and Sailors of Waterville 
 who gave their lives for the preservation of the Republic 1861- 
 1865." On the opposite front, "Erected by the citizens of 
 Waterville." 
 
 In order to raise the balance of the money needed for the mon- 
 ument the ladies of the committee decided to have an entertain- 
 ment on two evenings, the i6th and 17th of May, 1876, the first 
 evening to consist of an antiquarian supper and concert ; the 
 second of music, tableaux, free lunch, presentation of flag to 
 G. A. R. Post, by the ladies, etc. And this was ratified by the 
 association. 
 
 The entertainments were a grand success, in every way, and 
 will be long remembered with pleasure by those present. A full 
 account will be found in the Mail of May 19, 1876. Three hun- 
 dred and fifty dollars were added to the funds of the association. 
 
 The Waterville Soldiers' Monument was dedicated with appro- 
 priate ceremonies on Memorial day, Tuesday, May 30, 1876. 
 Col. F. E. Heath acted as marshal ; the Waterville brass band 
 furnished the music ; the members of W, S. Heath Post, G. A. R.,.

 W. S. HEATH POvST NO. 14. DEPARTMENT OF MAINE. G. A. R. 
 
 The Grand Army of the Republic was founded by Dr. B. F. 
 Stevenson of Springfield. 111., in 1866. 
 
 Dr. Stevenson devoted the best years of his life to his grand 
 idea of a brotherhood of old soldiers, to perpetuate the memories 
 of the camp, the march and the battlefield, and to perpetuate the 
 memory and history of the dead. Could he have lived to see the 
 day, what a tribute to his prophetic vision, what a reward for his 
 labor, would have been the increasing numbers of his comrades 
 till they reached the high water mark of 400,000 in 1888 to 1892 ; 
 these recruited from the men who served as citizen soldiers and 
 as soldier citizens with equal credit in war and peace ! 
 
 The Grand Army of the Republic symbolizes fraternity, charity 
 and loyalty. It stands for American manhood. It epitomizes 
 the heroism of a Nation. It is the trustee of patriotism. 
 
 Memorial Day is their creation and they who love liberty must 
 succeed them in their annual pilgrimage to the shrines of their 
 dead when their last member shall have passed beyond our feeble 
 following. 
 
 W. S. Heath Post, No. 14, Department of Maine, G. A. R., 
 was organized in 1874 and chartered December 29th of the same 
 year, under the administration of Department Commander Gen- 
 eral Seldon Connor, with the following charter members :

 The Post has on its roll of membership 195 names. 
 
 Death, emigration, and other causes have reduced its mem- 
 bership to fifty-seven, but it is still one of the vigorous, active 
 Posts of the order, and is doing a noble charitable work, looking 
 with great fidelity after the necessities of sick and disabled com- 
 rades, their widows and orphans, whether members of their 
 organization or not. 
 
 If it performed no other duty, it would commend itself to the 
 charitable and humane, but in a higher sphere of influence, it is 
 an organized exemplar of loyalty, by the service of its members 
 to the land they helped to save, and a lesson in loyalty to the 
 generation that are to follow them. 
 
 January 30. 1891, Hon. Nahaniel Meader, then Mayor of the 
 city of VVaterville, presented to the Post a very beautiful record 
 book, especially designed for recording the name and military 
 history of its members. 
 
 It has taken the writer and Comrade A. O. Libbey of the com- 
 mittee, five or six years to secure the names and record of 105 
 of these members from Waterville and Winslow, verify them, 
 have them re-written and engrossed in the great book. 
 
 The labors of the committee are finished, and the record — the 
 lasting memorial to her patriotic sons, is to be presented to the 
 city of Waterville as soon as a depository is provided for its safe 
 keeping. 
 
 The Post has had leading place and influence in all observ- 
 ances of a patriotic character, has made its campfires schools of

 patriotism, has furnished to the Department of Maine, Com- 
 mander Gen. I. S. Bangs and Commander James L. Merrick. It 
 has pleasant headquarters in Masonic block which are always 
 open. The Woman's Relief Corps has added greatly to the com- 
 fort and efficiency of the Post. 
 
 Since its organization, the Post has paid its annual tribute of 
 respect to the memory of dead comrades whose graves are within 
 its jurisdiction in Waterville and Winslow. 
 
 The number of these is so rapidly augmenting, that they 
 already number nearly three times the Post membership, and will 
 increase until all have joined the ranks of the great army of the 
 dead, to take up their march under the loving eye and guiding 
 hand, to which we confidentlv commit them. 
 
 THE REVOLUTIONARY WAR, 
 
 The Revolutionary War commenced with the battle of Lex- 
 ington, April 19, 1775. Provisional articles of peace were 
 signed, November 30, 1782, and proclamation of cessation of 
 hostilities ordered by the Continental Congress, April 11, 1783. 
 Definite treaty of peace was concluded, September 3, 1783, 
 ratified by the Continental Congress and proclaimed, January 
 
 14. 1784- 
 
 From a report of the Secretary of War to the House of Repre- 
 sentatives, dated May 10, 1790, and published in American State 
 Papers, Military Afifairs, Volume I, pages 14 to 19, it appears 
 that the number of troops and militia furnished from time to 
 time by the several states during the Revolutionary War was 
 395,330. It is impossible to ascertain whether the figures, which 
 are given in the report for each year of the war, and which aggre- 
 gate 395,330 for the whole period of the war, represent only the 
 number of new enlistments each year, or whether they include 
 not only men who enlisted during each year but also those who 
 were in the service at some time during that year but who 
 enlisted during a prior year. In other words, it cannot be deter- 
 mined positively whether the figures for each year merely rep- 
 resent additions to the force during that year, or whether they 
 represent these additions together with the force remaining in 
 4 
 
50 WATERVILLE IN THE WAR. 
 
 serz'ice from a prior year. It is certain that, in either case, they 
 do not represent the total number of individuals in service in any 
 year, or the total number of individuals added to the force in 
 any year, because there must have been many duplications caused 
 by counting the same man over again for each successive enlist- 
 ment. It is well known that a very large proportion of the men 
 who served in the American army during the Revolutionary 
 War rendered two, three or more terms, or "tours" of service. 
 This was notably the case in militia organizations in which men 
 frequently served tours of a few days each at comparatively short 
 intervals. 
 
 The writer feels it unnecessary to apologize for the meager 
 incidents that serve to connect this generation with events of a 
 century and more ago. 
 
 The time for detail was passed when the old Revolutionary 
 soldiers passed away and their families were separated. 
 
 Their military history was carefully preserved by the Com- 
 monwealth of Massachusetts, and if identity could be established, 
 a biographical sketch might be written that would confer credit 
 upon the soldier and his biographer. 
 
 The writer presents the most and the best sketch of these old 
 worthies possible who went from Waterville (then Winslow) 
 or came here after the war and found a home and a final resting 
 place here or in the immediate vicinity.

WATERVILL^ IN THE WAR. 59 
 
 John Pullen was a Revolutionary soldier, his name appearing 
 in a descriptive list of men raised to reinforce the Continental 
 army for the term of six months agreeably to a resolve of June 
 5, 1780. He is there described as seventeen years of age, five 
 feet, four inches in height and of dark complexion. His resi- 
 dence is given as Attleboro. He arrived at Spring^eld, July 9, 
 1780, and with the nth Division, to which this re-enforcement 
 was assigned, marched to camp, July ii, 1780, under command 
 of Ensign Barrows. (Mass. Muster and Pay Rolls. Vol. 35, 
 page 192.) 
 
 The name of John Pullen of Attleboro also appears in a return 
 dated Camp Totoway. October 25, 1780, containing a list of men 
 raised for six months' service and returned by Brig.-Gen. Pat- 
 terson as having passed muster. (Mass. Muster and Pay Rolls, 
 Vol. 25, page 241.) 
 
 He was in the Continental army from July 6, 1780 to January 
 8, 1781, having seen six months' and two days' service.

 H., in Col. Peabody's regiment, and joined the forces of Gen. 
 Sullivan at Providence, R. I., where the troops were quartered 
 in Brown College. 
 
 In December he was discharged and returned to Wilton, N. H. 
 In June, 1779, re-enlisted in the "Continental Establishment" for

 one year, joined the army at Fishkill on the Hudson and spent 
 the following winter at Danbury, Ct. 
 
 In spring of 1780 joined the regiment of Col. Miller and spent 
 the balance of his term of enlistment scouting as far north as 
 West Point and was discharged at expiration of term of service. 
 In March, 1781, he again enlisted and joined the army near West 
 Point in Col. Alex Scammel's regiment, which dropped down 
 the Hudson to Kingsbridge, thence to New Jersey, Philadelphia 
 and Annapolis and finally reached Yorktown in time to partici- 
 pate in the seige and surrender. Thence he followed the for- 
 tunes of the army in its long march to Saratoga, thence to 
 Princeton, New Jersey, and West Point, where he was discharged 
 December 23, 1783 without pay and left to travel 300 miles to 
 his home, carrying the musket he had borne through his long 
 service. The old musket was treasured many years in his family 
 and finally presented to the State of Maine by his oldest son, 
 Judge Redington. 
 
 Mr. Redington came to Vassalboro in 1784, married Mary, 
 daughter of Nehemiah Getchell, September 2, 1787. Came to 
 Waterville (then Winslow) in 1792 where he died, March 31, 
 1845. He was buried in Monument Park, where his remains 
 still lie. 
 
 Asa Redington was grandfather of Mrs. Appleton A. Plaisted 
 of Waterville. 
 
 Simeon Simpson: Simeon Simpson enlisted in Winslow in 
 July, 1782, for three years, in Capt. King's company, Lieut. -Col. 
 Brooks' regiment (the 7th Mass. Line) ; transferred to the 4th 
 Massachusetts Line and was discharged in the State of New 
 York, December 31, 1783. Mr. Simpson was pensioned in 1818. 
 
 In a paper dated October 11, 1836, he alleged that he was 
 seventy years old. This would make his birth in 1766, and his 
 age ninety-four at his death, September 24, i860, though he 
 claimed to be ninety-six. 
 
 He was buried in Winslow on the home farm, now owned 
 by the Lockwood Company. Before this article goes to press, 
 his remains will have been removed, with those of his family, to 
 Pine Grove Cemetery.

 He died January 6, 1832, aged eighty-four, and was buried 
 in the old Elm street cemetery, and in 1875 removed to Pine 
 Grove Cemetery. 
 
 Lot Stit^tez'ant: Was born in Wareham, Mass., July 25. 1759. 
 He was the second son of Joseoh and Mary (Gibbs) Sturte- 
 vant. Joseph was the son of Moses, son of Samuel, son of 
 Samuel, who was at Plymouth, Mass., as early as May, 1642. 
 His affidavit, on file in the land office at the State House, 
 Augusta, gives the following : 
 
 "Lot Sturtevant ot Waterville, June 15, 1835, seventy-five 
 years old and upwards, enk'^^ed at Wareham, Mass., 1777, for 
 three years in Capt. Josh Eddy's company. Gen. Bradford's regi- 
 ment, Massachusetts Line. Served his full time and was honor- 
 ably discharged at West Point in 1780. LInited States pensioner.. 
 Land certificate granted April 19, 1835." 
 
 It cannot be ascertained when he came to Waterville, but it 
 must have been before 1790, for his eldest son, Zenas, was born 
 here in November, 1790, and the succeeding children, seven in 
 all, were born here prior to 1806. He married Elizabeth Bessie, 
 who was born October 3, 1764 or 5, and died January 13. 1833, 
 aged sixty-eight. Lot Sturtevant died at Waterville, June 4, 
 1848, aged eighty-eight, at the home of Reward Sturtevant. 
 
 His farm was one of the "Ten Lots" of which he was the 
 original settler and proprietor. Here he lived, reared his family, 
 and was buried in the cemetery one mile north of Fairfield Center 
 on the Pishons Ferry Road.

 ment of eight months' men with the army at the siege of Boston 
 in 1775. 
 
 Mr. Sweetzer Hved here in 1840 with David Parker; was a 
 pensioner and ninety years of age. When he came here, when 
 he died and where he was buried are imknown. 
 
 Philip Thayer: v^upposed to have been born near Attleboro, 
 Mass. and enhsted from there. Came to Berwick after the war 
 and finally drifted "down east" to Waterville (now Oakland) 
 died and was buried in the old cemetery there. No other record. 
 
 Obadiah WUiimns: Was a surgeon in Gen. Starks' regiment 
 at Bunker Hill, and served during the entire Revolutionary War. 
 He came from Epping, N. H., to Waterville (then Winslow) in 
 1792, and built the first frame house in Waterville, the small 
 one-story house still standing opposite the electric light station 
 at the end of the bridge. The view from this little home of his 
 down the bay and the broad Kennebec must have been very 
 delightful, (since obstructed by the old Dalton house and the 
 factories). Dr. Williams died in 1799, aged forty-nine. He 
 was buried in the old cemetery, now Monument Park, which was 
 then only an open field without fences, and was deeded to the 
 town of Winslow for a burying groimd, with 'certain reservations. 
 When the lines were run to define the boundary on the south 
 side, it was found that Dr. Williams and his wife had been buried 
 outside the cemetery. Their remains were taken up and removed 
 so as to come within the bounds, and when the change was 
 effected, making a public park of the old cemetery, their remains 
 were again moved to Pine Grove Cemetery. 
 
 George YoiDig: Was a Revolutionary soldier who came to 
 Waterville (now Oakland) to live, died and was buried there in 
 the old cemetery. Birthplace, date of birth, military record, age 
 and date of death imknown. 
 
 Reference is had in Massachusetts military service record to 
 his being commissioned captain of the 5th company, Col. 
 Wheaton's (4th Lincoln county) regiment of Massachusetts 
 militia, in July, 1776, but no service is found credited to him as 
 such.

WATERVILLU IN THE WAR. 63 
 
 THE WAR OF 1812. 
 
 The War of 181 2, as is well known grew out of the claim of 
 Great Britain to the right of search of our merchant vessels, and 
 the impressment of American seamen under various pretexts, 
 which culminated in a "State of War." as declared by our 
 National Congress, June 18, 1812, and proclaimed by President 
 Madison, the following day. 
 
 The following are the Rosters of the several companies of 
 militia enlisted from Waterville and vicinity for the war, with 
 their service as noted. The residence of the company officers is 
 given while that of the men is not and the records at Augusta 
 and Washington do not give them, but as the Waterville com- 
 panies were recruited here, the means of transportation at that 
 time primitive and limited, the inference is that they were prob- 
 ably residents of Waterville.

 Amos P. Southard was born and enlisted in Litchfield or Edge- 
 comb. Soon after the war he moved to Winslow, where he lived 
 nearly fifty years, and died in 1870. 
 
 An act "Declaring war between Great Britain and her depend- 
 encies, and the United States and their Territories" was passed 
 by Congress and signed by the President, June 18, 1812. Treaty 
 of peace was concluded, December 24, 1814, ratification 
 exchanged, February 17, 1815, and proclaimed, February 18, 
 1815. 
 
 From reports of the third auditor of the Treasury Department 
 dated December 12, 1836, (published in Ex. Doc. No. 20, House 
 of Representatives, 24th Congress, 2nd Session,) and February 
 22, 185S, (published in Ex. Doc. No. 72, House of Representa- 
 tives, 35th Congress, ist Session), it appears that the total num- 
 ber of regulars, militia, volunteers and rangers who served the 
 United States at any time during the war of 1812 was 528,274. 
 It is evident that this number represents only the number of 
 enlistments and not the actual number of individuals in service. 
 It is known that manv of the men who served during the War of 
 
WATERVILLE IN THE WAR. 67 
 
 181 2 rendered more than one term, or "tour," of service. But 
 the number of men who served more than one term cannot be 
 ascertained, and it is impossible, therefore, to determine the 
 actual number of individuals in service during that war. 
 
 Waterville's most eminent soldier in the War of 1812 was 
 Gen. Eleazer Wheelock Ripley. 
 
 Born in Hanover, N. H., April 15, 1782, he was a nephew 
 of President John Wheelock and son of Prof. Sylvanus Ripley, 
 D. D., of Dartmouth, and was graduated at Dartmouth in 1800. 
 He studied law in the office of Hon. Timothy Boutelle, and of 
 his tax assessed in 1809, $2 was tax on his income as a lawyer. 
 He was town agent in 1809 and 1810, was one of the first board 
 of fire wardens elected in 1809, and was chosen by the town as 
 one of the petitioners to the general court to annex Waterville to 
 Somerset county. 
 
 May 7, 1810, he was elected by the town its representative to 
 the general court of Massachusetts and was re-elected, May 13, 
 
 181 1. He was Speaker of the House and was elected Senator in 
 
 1812. He became lieutenant-colonel of the 21st Regiment Massa- 
 chusetts Infantry, March 12, 181 2, and just one year later, 
 colonel. He was made brigadier-general, April 15, 1814, and 
 major-general, July 25, 1814. He was wounded in the attack 
 on Toronto but soon after commanded the 2nd Brigade under 
 Gen. Brown on the Niagara frontier. At the battle of Lundy's 
 Lane, after the wounding of Gen. Brown, the command of the 
 army devolved on Gen. Ripley. He was severely wounded in the 
 battle of Niagara but was conspicuous for gallantry in defense 
 of Fort Erie, August 15, 1814. November 3, 1814, by resolution 
 of Congress, he was presented with a gold medal inscribed with 
 the names, "Niagara, Chippewa, Erie." He remained in the 
 U. S. Army until 1820, stationed in Louisiana. He then 
 resigned, practiced law in Louisiana, served in the State Senate, 
 and was a member of Congress from 1835 to 1839. He died in 
 Louisiana, March 2, 1839. 
 
68 . WATERVILLE IN THE ^\^\R. 
 
 THE AROOSTOOK WAR. 
 
 From the close of the War of 1812, the Northwestern bound- 
 ary of Maine was in dispute till 1839, when the Le^^islature (of 
 Maine) in private session took measures to drive trespassers 
 from their camps in the valley of the Aroostook river. 
 
 The first detachment in charge of a sheriff was captured and 
 taken to jail at Fredericton, N. B., whereupon the Governor of 
 New Brunswick sent word to Governor Fairfield that he had 
 orders to hold the disputed territory by military force and 
 demanded the recall of all militia from the Aroostook. 
 
 The people were aroused ; the Legislature indignant ! Money 
 was voted for the protection of the public lands, and a draft of 
 10,000 men from the militia was ordered and the men sent at 
 once, through the winter snows to the frontier, where they spent 
 three months near Presque Isle, on the Aroostook. 
 
 A company was drafted here and at Fairfield with Samuel 
 Burrill as captain, and on February 25, 1839 joined the 2nd Regi- 
 ment at Augusta, and marched through deep snow to the frontier. 
 
 A peaceful settlement was enforced by this timely occupation 
 and the troops marched home. 
 
 A roster of the Waterville-Fairfield company with the names 
 of the Waterville men marked with a star, follows. But one 
 man of this company from Waterville survives, Adrastus Branch.

 MEXICAN WAR. 
 
 No record has been found on the rolls of the war department 
 of the enlistment of any volunteer soldiers from Waterville for 
 service during the Mexican War, either for volunteer regiments 
 or for the regular army. 
 
 The principal recruiting in Maine was at Portland, Bangor. 
 Eastport and Lewiston. 
 
 Hiram Cothsan enlisted at Bangor, September 28, 1847, giv- 
 ing his birthplace as Waterville, Maine. He was assigned to 
 Company M, 2nd Artillery, IT. S. A., and was discharged there- 
 from July U), 1848, by expiration of service, as a musician. 
 
 Hostilities began April 24, 1846, with a skirmish which 
 resulted in the capture of Captain Thornton and his party of 
 dragoons by the Mexicans. The act of Congress approved May 
 13, 1846, declares that "A state of war exists between that gov- 
 ernment (Mexico) and the United States." Treaty of peace 
 was concluded February 2, 1848, ratifications exchanged May 
 30, 1848, and proclaimed July 4, 1848.

 WATERVILLE IN THE WAR. 
 
 From a report of the adjutant general, dated December 3, 
 1849, (published in Ex. Doc. No. 24, House of Representatives, 
 31st Congress, ist session), together with certain additions com- 
 piled from the official records on file in this office, it appears that 
 the number of regulars and volunteers received into service dur- 
 ing the war with Mexico was 101,110. 
 
 WAR WITH SPAIN. 
 
 From a "Statistical Exhibit of Strength of Volunteer Forces 
 called into Service during the War with Spain," published by the 
 adjutant general's office, December 13, 1899, it appears that the 
 total number of volunteers in service' during the war was 223,235. 
 This number includes 453 officers who were also officers in the 
 regular army.

 Among the sons of Waterville who have served in the regular

 Richmond where he met his death by accident, August 29, 1883. 
 His last command was for his men to save themselves while he, 
 looking out for their safety, died at his post of duty. He had 
 previously received honorable mention for saving the lives of 
 seamen at peril to his own. It was in the days of the Civil War 
 when naval service was of utmost value that Boutelle Noyes gave 
 himself to his country. In the days of peace, promotion was 
 slow, but his high ideals, great ability, and faithful performance 
 of duty seemed to assure the highest rank in his profession. 
 
 Lieut. Noyes was married, June 25, 1879, to Miss Charlotte 
 Bleecker Luce. Two sons w^ere born to them. Robert Boutelle 
 Noyes and Stephen Henley Noyes. The family home is at New- 
 port, R. I.

 the western frontier; in 1879 he was ordered to West Point as

 Vancouver Barracks, Washins^ton. By regular promotion he 
 has attained the rank of Colonel. 
 
 Major-General Charles Heytvood, Commander of the Marine 
 Corps of the U. S. Army, was a Waterville boy, the son of Lieut. 
 Charles Hey wood of the United States Navy, who died at sea. 
 Before he was twenty years old he received a commission in the 
 Marine Corps. April 5. 1858. Before the Civil War he had seen 
 service off the coast of Africa, and off Nicaragua. He was on 
 the Cumberland at Vera Cruz, Mexico, at the outbreak of the 
 war. He commanded the after-gun deck division in the fight 
 between the Merrimac and the Cumberland, and when the latter 
 went down with the flag flying, Capt. Heywood fired the last gun 
 and jumped overboard. "For gallant and meritorious service on 
 this occasion he was brevetted Major and received honorable 
 mentioned from his commander." Afterward he was in command 
 of the guard on the Hartford. Farragut's flagship and, January, 
 1864, was made fleet marine officer. He was on the Hartford in 
 the battle of Mobile Bay, commanding a division of nine-inch 
 guns. For his part in this action he was commended and 
 brevetted Lieutenant-Colonel. He shared several other engage- 
 ments and at the close of the war was recommended for advance- 
 ment five numbers by a special board. During the railroad riot

 1885, commanding a force of 1,100 men and keeping the Panama 
 Railroad open in the midst of revolution. He was made Lieu- 
 tenant-Colonel in 1 888 and three years later became Commandant 
 at Washington Barracks. The good work of the marines during 
 the Spanish War and the present superb condition of the force 
 is largely the result of the work of Gen. Heywood, who has 
 inspired the force with his own spirit, perfected its discipline and 
 provided its thorough equipment. At present the Marine Corps 
 enrolls 6.000 men. Gen. Heywood became Brigadier-General in 
 March, 1899, and Major-General in July, 1902. On the latter 
 occasion a very unusual compliment was paid Gen. Heywood.
