REPORT. to the committee of relief for the sufferers by the disaster at the pemberton mills in lawrence. Gentlemen, Having been specially intrusted by you with the care, and to a great extent with the disbursement, of the very large fund contributed for the relief of the sufferers by the late appalling calamity at the Pemberton Mill in this city, it is due to you, and it is due to the contributors, and it may also be interesting to others as a somewhat remarkable chapter in the annals of charity, that I should render to you, and through you to the public, some account of the extent of the relief afforded and of the principles which have guided its distribution. In so doing I may be permitted to recur to matters familiar to yourselves, but which it may not be inexpedient to bring in a few words to the knowledge or recollection of those whose sympathies have reached us from distant quarters, and who therefore know but little of what has been needed and what has been done. With the physical causes of the disaster we have here nothing to do. It is simply as a record of a charity, extraordinary in its extent and character, and an account of the administration of their trust by a Committee, self-appointed as it were, and directly responsible to no particular tribunal, but who have felt their responsibility none the less for that reason, that the following statement is presented. On the 10th of January, 1860, the Pemberton Manufacturing Company had in its employ 918 persons. Of these, nearly 600, men, women, and children, were at work in the large Mill where the manufacturing operations were principally carried on. At 5 o'clock in the afternoon, with no previous warning, almost in an instant, certainly in a space of time not exceeding one minute, the floors of this large structure, five stories in height, suddenly gave way, the walls were overthrown, and stone, l)ricks, timber, machinery, and this vast crowd of human beings lay in one confused mass of ruins. A few hours later a fire broke out and raged fiercely over the shapeless pile, and then indeed a thrill of horror ran through the stoutest heart, as the thousands, working with almost superhuman efibrt for the rescue of the unfortunate victims, were successively driven off by the flames, and forced to abandon friends, relatives, and neighbors, to their awful fate. The tidings flew with the speed of lightning over the land, and while here at the scene of the disaster everything seemed forgotten but the care of the wounded, the burial of the dead, and the relief of the suffering families of the bereaved, the hearts of others at a distance were moved as on no other occasion, and charity with lavish hand began to pour its offerings upon our stricken community. On the day following the disaster, the New England Society for the Promotion of Manufactures and the Mechanic Arts, an association of gentlemen whose pursuits naturally led their sympathies towards us, opened a subscription for the benefit of the sufferers, and two thousand dollars as a first instalment were on the same day placed by J. Wiley Edmands, Esq. in the hands of the Mayor of the City, a prompt and significant testimony that sympathy and assistance were close at hand. On the next day an additional sum of $3000 from the same source was also transmitted through J. D. W. Joy, Esq.; and from this moment contributions of every kind, in money, in clothing, in medicines, in furniture, in provisions, with offers of medical aid, of free beds in hospitals, of service as nurses, watcliers and physicians were hourly arriving. The Mayor of the City, lion. Daniel Saunders, Jr., who from the moment of the disaster had devoted himself with all his energy of soul and body to the rescue and relief of the suffering multitude, at once ordered a canvass to be made of the whole city, with a view to ascertain as nearly as possible the names and condition of the sufferers, and the whole extent of the calamity. On the 13th we saw by the Boston papers that on the largest subscription paper in that city the names of the Mayor, together with Charles S. Storrow, Henry K. Oliver, William C. Chapin, and John C. Hoadley were placed as a Committee to whom the donors intended to intrust their funds. With no other intimation or authority than this, the persons thus mentioned held a few moments' consultation together, and determined at once to assume the responsibility with which their names had been connected ; a grave responsibility, which not one of them coveted, but a responsibility which not one of them would shrink from, in an emergency which called on every man for the exercise of whatever influence or ability he might possess. On the same evening this self-constituted Committee met, together with John R. Rollins, Esq., formerly Mayor of the City, and Mr. George P. Wilson, the City Missionary, both of whom had been devoting themselves with the utmost zeal and efficiency to the sad task of visiting the sufferers and their families, and selected Messrs. E. P. Poor, S. A. Furbush, Henry Withington, and William D. Joplin to assist them in visiting and inspecting the wounded, and collecting the necessary information in regard to their names, residence, condition and wants. On the 15th of January the Committee met and organized themselves permanently, and a plan was presented and adopted for systematic inspection and relief, and for the care of the funds received. The Mayor was appointed Chairman ; Charles S. Storrow, Treasurer of the fund, and Pardon Armington, Clerk. It was agreed that the Clerk should keep the books, under the direction of the Treasurer, devote his whole time to the service of the Committee, and receive compensation therefor. The City was divided into six wards or districts, to each of which was appointed an Inspector, residing in that district, paid for his services and devoting his time wholly to the business intrusted to him, whose duty it became to visit every sufferer within his ward, to see that he was supplied with medical aid, clothing, provisions, or whatever might be necessary for his relief. Mr. S. A. Furbush was appointed to District No. 1. Mr. J. Q. A. Batchelder to No. 2. Mr. Wm. D. Joplin to No. 3. 8 Mr. Henry Withingtoii to No. 4. Mr. Elbridge Weston to No. 5, and Mr. Daniel Saunders to No. 6. They accepted their trust, and from that time forward were in daily contact with the suffering families, and in constant communication with the Committee, and their discreet and faithful services were of the utmost value. On the devoted City Missionary, the usual channel of benevolent sympathy in our community, we knew that we could always depend, but we thought it would be unwise to withdraw him entirely from his other duties for this, as we felt that there was danger in this great and overwhelming calamity that other and ordinary objects of charitable assistance might be forgotten, and we meant to leave them to his care. Assisted by his excellent wife, he gave his days and nights with unsur- passed devotion to the service of God and man, and through liim many a dying bed was soothed and cheered by the gentle influence of a true and all-embracing Christian piety. A room in the City Hall was placed by the Mayor at the dis- posal of the Committee and of the Inspectors as their head quarters, where the Clerk and at least one of the Committee remained all day long, and every evening the Inspectors, and as many of tlie Committee as could attend, were present to com- pare notes, discuss particular cases, and decide any questions to which the incidents of the day had given rise. A sad sight it was, when twenty or thirty persons at a time were thronging the door to explain their wants, while in the opposite room, where were first deposited the bodies of the dead as they were recovered from the ruins, the sorrowing relatives were en- deavoring, vainly at times, to identify the remains of those whom they liad lost. It may well be believed that all ordinary occupations were suspended, and that one engrossing thought filled every mind. On the 16th the Committee requested the use of one of the laro-e boarding houses of the Pcmberton Manufacturing Compa- ny, as a home or hospital for those who could not be properly cared for at their own lodgings. It was immediately placed at their disposal, and while they were debating as to the best arrangement to make for its management, a letter was received from Mr. James Lawrence, enclosing one from Mr. James M. Barnard, who proposed to come up from Boston with a corps of nurses and whatever medical assistance might be required, at his own expense, and to apply his aid wherever it would be most efficient. The proposition was most opportune, and it was determined at once that the " Pemberton Home" should be placed in the charge of Mr. Barnard, and that the several physicians of the City should be invited to send there such patients as needed removal, still retaining them under their medical care. This branch of the system of relief was thence- forward attended to by Mr. Barnard with a zeal and constancy deserving the most grateful acknowledgements of the Commit- tee ; and at a moment when every physician, every member of the Committee and their assistants, every city officer had his time fully and more than fully occupied, he was found a most encouraging and a most useful auxiliary in their labors. His interesting report, which is hereto appended, will show what was done through the exertions of a gentleman, who is neither a missionary nor a physician, but an active Boston merchant. On the 20th January a letter was received from Mr. Amos A. Lawrence, announcing that the amount collected under the auspices of the New England Society had now reached $18,000, and suggesting that if a sum sufficient for relief had already been obtained, it would be well for the Mayor to announce it. The suggestion was quite in conformity with the views of the Committee, but those of them who were then present thought the time for such an announcement had not yet come. They had previously stated that a sum as large as 850,000 could be judiciously appropriated, and three quarters of that amount had not yet been reached. But on that and the two succeeding days the reports of the Inspectors gave them a clearer view of the limits of the relief required, and each day added a very large sum to the amount already received ; so that on Monday the 23d they were satisfied that no more would be wanted than they could then count upon, and the following letter, written at their request, by the Mayor, announced that fact to the public : Lawrence, January 23, 1860. To THE Public. — The undersigned, Mayor of Lawrence, and Chairman of the Committee of Relief, and the several members thereof, having in charge the distribution of 10 funds contributed for the aid of the Pemberton Mill sufferers, in behalf not only of those who have been directly the recipients of the charity called out by the recent calamity, but of every citizen of Lawrence, tender to a generous public gratitude and thanks, the fullness of which overflows every heart. No calamity in the history of the country so startled the community, nor carried so intense sorrow and desolation into so many homes, and no misfortune has ever elicited so intense sympathy. Our cry was no sooner heard, than charity, bearing upon its pinions comfort and consolation, hovered at our doors. From every point came hope, aid and tender-hearted kindness, cheering and en- couraging us in our labors and lightening the burden oppressing us. Sub- stantial and timely contributions of money and clothing were hurried forward from all quarters. The old and the young, little children, and aged men and women, associations of various names, the church and the theatre, acquaintan- ces and strangers, the Christian and the Jew, those near us and those remote, all, all vied with each other in acts of generous charity, and in deeds of love and of mercy. The widow's mite and the rich man's full purse were alike extended to us. When all have done so much, it might seem invidious to particularize, yet we cannot forbear to bring into more prominent notice the spirit that prompted the " New England Society for the Promotion of Manu- factures" to render so effectual and so ample assistance. This Association was the first, though none were far behind, in bringing forward material aid, and has already subscribed nearly twenty thousand dollars for the relief of the operatives who were so suddenly stricken down at the scene of their labors. Nor can we omit to mention in terms of high praise the self-sacrificing spirit which, on the terrible night of the 10th inst., brought to our assistance so many' and so brave friends from every city and town within a score of miles — physicians, firemen, mechanics, laborers, yea, men of every station in life, men with strong muscles, and women with tender hearts and willing hands. So generous have been the contributions in money and clothing from every quarter, that we are most happy in believing that what has been already sent, witli what is now pledged and already subscribed, or now in the hands of per- sons who have kindly solicited subscriptions, will be sufficient for the wants of those really needy, and those to be provided for in continuance. If not, the liberality of our own citizens will not permit any families or individuals to want the aid and comfort which their necessities may require. By no means would we by any undue prominence of our own suffering and needs, great as has been our calamity, divert from other worthy objects of charity, for such there are in every community, the outpourings of that philan- tlirojjy which has been so effectually awakened in our behalf, and has been so thoroughly manifested towards us. Daniel Saunders, Jr., Mayor and Chairman. Committee — Charles S. Storrow, Henry K. Oliver, William C. Chapin, John C. Hoadlet. » 11 Some striking peculiarities will be noticed in the foregoing narrative of the few days following the disaster. Here is a catastrophe, instantaneous and unforeseen, by which 80 or 90 lives are lost, some three hundred persons wounded, and nearly a thousand families deprived of their daily means of subsistence. No waves of the Atlantic swallow up, hush and conceal this mass of human suffering, but visibly, palpably, audibly, in its whole extent, it strikes full upon the senses. A few hours pass and relief arrives from every quarter. Within three days the city has been canvassed, the list of the injured and the dead very nearly completed. A Com- mittee, self-appointed, has met and organized a system of inspection and relief, assumed the responsibility of its manage- ment, and within six days the Inspectors, fully installed in their office, are regularly visiting and relieving all within their respective districts, their duties defined, their reports regularly brought in, accountability in money transactions provided for, and the whole working harmoniously and efficiently. In two days more a Hospital, called by the better name of " Home," is prepared for those who had no other home ; and in less than two weeks from the day of the disaster the announcement is publicly made that enough from abroad has been received, that charity, if left to its own impulses, would be too profuse to be wise, and that its hand must be stayed, or diverted to other necessities. Other features there were in the drama which struck no less forcibly those who were brought, as we were, into close contact with tliese sad events, and must not be forgotten. Deeds of heroism on that awful night ; sympathy aroused in the coldest hearts ; charity melting the most selfish ; strength nerving the feeblest arm ; patient endurance on the part of the wounded ; quiet resignation in the hearts of the mourners ; all these were as extraordinary as the occasion which called them forth. " Save Nash first," was the cry of Lizzie Flint, a bright young girl of sixteen, an only daughter, who had brought from her home in the interior of Maine the character that belongs to the rural homes of New England. Poor Nash, who lay severely injured near her, and whose brother lost his life, was indeed 12 saved. The poor girl did not survive. Who shall say that she was not saved also ? " Give this to my father ; I shan't see him, but you will," said little Mary Ann Bannan, an Irish child of ten years, to the girl near her, as she gave her the pay roll certificate which she had received that afternoon. The girl escaped, and the partly-burnt paper was given to the father. Mary Ann was never seen again. But when her companion was drawn from the ruins to the light of this world, surely we may hope that this poor child, free from her suffering, emerged to the light of a better. Why did this awful calamity thus strike down in an instant so many innocent victims ? On whom as a judgment did all this fall ? Sufficient is the answer of holy writ. When the disciples asked the Saviour, " Who did sin, this man or his parents, that he was born blind ?" " Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents," was the reply of Divine Wisdom, " but that the ivorks of God should be made manifest ;^^ and if great traits of character in humble, no less than in exalt- ed stations of life, best manifest the works and glory of God, surely they ivere manifested in the incidents of this great catastrophe. The funds for relief were, at first, transmitted for the most part directly to the Mayor, and from him they passed into the hands of the Treasurer of the Committee. Subsequently, when the action of the Committee became known, funds were sent directly to the Treasurer, or to some other member who placed them in his hands. The account appended to this report shows in detail the sums received by him from all sources. The amount collected was very large. It exceeded $65,000. To distribute it judiciously was no easy task ; how could it best be done ? In the first place, a list was carefully made out of all the persons in the employ of the Company at the time of the acci- dent. This was taken from the pay-roll which had just been prepared for the payment of the wages for the four weeks preceding January 1st. Tliis pay-roll was now made up to January 10th, and a sum of over $20,000 was promptly paid by the owners of the Mill to tlie survivors or to the families of 13 the lost, and furnished a most opportune relief at the outset, independently of the action of the Committee. The list con- tained 918 names. As each person, or some representative of the person, came up to be paid, a record was taken of his con- dition, stating the extent and character of his injuries, his death or his escape. This furnished the basis of our work. While the Inspectors were daily examining the prominent cases, this list enabled us to ascertain at once whether a claimant for assistance was really one of those belonging to the Mill, and to put the Inspectors on the lookout for any whom they had not yet met with, but who were reported as among the injured. On this list as first obtained, we had the names of 83 killed, 119 severely injured, 159 sHghtly injured, 557 uninjured. Subse- quently, one person who was missing and reported dead re- appeared unhurt, and five of the wounded have died of the injuries received ; so that at the present time (May, 1860) the whole number of lives lost is eighty-seven. The list was substantially correct, although of course it after- wards required some modifications. Injuries reported as slight by the parties themselves, sometimes proved much more severe than was at first anticipated. Injuries reported by those of timid temperament as severe, sometimes proved to be slight and of very short duration. And some persons who appeared entirely uninjured were so affected mentally as to be for a long period wholly incapacitated for exertion, either of mind or of body, and to require care and watchfulness and rest even more than others whose firmer nerves and more vigorous organization upheld them against severe bodily injury and pain. Of those uninjured, all were deprived of employment, and at the dead of a New England winter a very large proportion of them were left, with their families, destitute of all means of support. It was impossible for us, therefore, at the first moment, to feel sure of any one on that long list of names that he was not or might not soon become a proper subject for relief. Such then was the crowd with which we had to denl. It was determined at once that the fund in our hands was a fund for the " Pemberton sufferers " only, and that any cases of want arising from ordinary causes, were foreign to our trust, 14 and must be met by means derived from other sources. We also determined that we were not a Committee to make com- pensation for losses, for where would be the end of such an undertaking ? but that we were simply entrusted with funds to relieve persons and families suffering through destitution or personal injuries caused by this particular event. This defined our mission and limited its extent, and applied relief precisely where we believed the contributors intended it should go. We assumed at once the payment of all funeral expenses ; all medical attendance and medicines ; the board and wages of nurses ; the board of all injured persons until their recovery ; and all other outlay necessarily incurred by the families of the killed and wounded on their account. These were expenses^ all of which we were ready to pay, upon proper examination of the bills, so as to be satisfied that the charges were reasonable in character and in amount. We also undertook to relieve destitution arising from want of employment where no personal injury liad been sustained. This being only temporary, was of course to be met only by temporary relief; but wherever that destitution existed, it was agreed that relief should be given, either in money, clothes, fuel, rent, or otherwise. But besides giving temporary relief to the unemployed and destitute who were well, and paying the expenses, whatever they might be, of the wounded until recovery, there was some pro- vision requisite for the families or relatives of the dead. It was our wish that no family from whom a member had been taken by death, should be without some donation from the Committee, in addition to the payment of all the expenses immediately con- sequent upon this bereavement. These cases were divided into three classes — 1st. Families who had lost the member on whom they were dependent as their head. This might be a father or a mother, or an elder brother or sister. 2d. Families who had lost a member on whom they were partially dependent — perhaps one girl in a family, contributing, with the others, to the general support. 3d. Families who had lost a member on whom they were not at all dependent — a young child, it might be, whose wages were barely sufficient for its own maintenance ; or a 15 young man or woman, with no relatives but adult brothers. We decided to appropriate, in addition to all expenses, for every family in the first class, from $200 to $500 ; for every family in the second class, from $100 to $200 ; for every family in the third class, from 150 to 1100. In making provision for these families, which was in no single instance done without careful inquiry and deliberation, we took into account— 1st, the number and age of the persons depend- ent, and their bodily and pecuniary condition ; 2d, the former circumstances of the family, or the manner in which they had been accustomed to live ; 3d, their ability to use the provision prudently. These investigations were of a most interesting character, and their results were infinitely various. Many of the families were residents here, and information could be obtained with but little difficulty. Others were far away, in other towns or other states, or across the ocean. Letters of inquiry were written in various directions. In some instances a special messenger was sent one or two hundred miles to ascertain, by personal inspection, the condition of the family, its especial wants, and the best means of supplying them. We felt that the modest and uncomplaining, who had never asked for our aid, but were bearing their bereave- ment in quiet sorrow, should be sought out, and receive, not only the expression of sympathy which was due to their loss, but also the addition to the comforts of old age or of infirm health which the lost relative had perhaps supplied, and which the generosity of the contributors now enabled us to furnish. Again and again where two or three hundred dollars were thus sent un- solicited to respectable American families in our interior towns, whose very humble means had been eked out by the labors of a daughter or a sister in the Mill, the grateful letters which we received in return satisfied us that our aid was most useful and welcome. But our assistance and relief for the families of the bereaved went, in some instances, beyond the limits of our own country, and there are homes in Ireland, there is one in Ger- many, where the tidings of their loss were followed not long after by words of sympathy and by substantial aid. In determining in all these cases the amount to be given, 16 we were guided by the general rule first laid down, and were led towards the higher or lower limits there specified, by a con- sideration of the infinitely various circumstances of the families as brought to our knowledge. Some curious chapters in the history of human character were revealed to us. Conjugal afiection or infidelity, parental care or neglect, vice with misery its constant attendant, thrift and prudence, sometimes re- warded by their natural results, sometimes thwarted by a seem- ing fatality, — all these were strangely displayed before us, as this great calamity led us into the interior of so many house- holds. An honest desire to treat similar cases alike, to do most where most was needed, and where it would be most judiciously used, least where there was more clamor than want and an ap- prehension of misuse, and a feeling that peculiar sympathy was due wherever peculiarly painful circumstances had attended the case, formed in reality the thread of consistency which ran through all our operations. It would be too much to believe that no mistakes were made, but we can at least say that none of these cases were decided upon without investigation, and careful deliberation upon what we had ascertained. After making up our minds as to the proper amount of this relief, the most difficult question frequently was its application ; in whose hands to place it ; in what form to bestow it. To a respectable and intelligent family, if at a distance, the simplest mode was to send a draft, with the advice to deposit it in the nearest savings bank. For such a family at home, it was gen- erally deposited in the savings bank in this city in their own name and without conditions. In other cases, where less confi- dence was felt, it was deposited in the savings bank with the condition that not more than a certain amount per month or per quarter should be drawn out. In others it was used at once to clear off a mortgage, or perhaps a portion of it to pay debts which had been accumulating at the stores, and had become embarrassing to the family. There were cases where the father was intemperate and the mother of feeble character. Arrange- ments were made at provision stores, on whose owners we could depend, to supply weekly a certain amount of provisions, dis- creetly selected, and not to be exceeded, — enough to last six 17 months perhaps, — with a deposit in the savings bank not to be, drawn upon until that period had expired, and then only by- fixed instalments. In cases where the wife was of stronger character, the deposit was made in her name, free from the control of the husband. In one instance a deposit was made for a child who had been adopted by a relative, and it was to accumulate for a certain period. In several cases the father and mother were both entirely unreliable, and the only way was to make the deposit in the name of some person on whose dis- cretion we could depend, as trustee for the family. In one remarkable instance a widow woman was killed on the eventful night. Her son was the husband of a woman whose mother, also a widow, died of her wounds a few days after. The hus- band was unfit to be trusted with money. The wife was intelli- gent, and but for him could be depended upon. The children were all young. Here was but one competent person in three generations ; and she was controlled by her husband. After much consultation with the wife, the sum of |350 was appro- priated for her — 850 placed in her hands, and ^300 in the savings bank, in the name of a discreet person as trustee, for her benefit. Other cases there were where the relatives re- quested that the money might be placed in the hands of one of the Catholic pastors of the city. The pastors themselves were quite reluctant to have this done, but sometimes acceded to the request, especially where they had previously been the depositaries for these families, and the medium of their remit- tances to Ireland. And I cannot let pass this occasion of say- ing, that both of those faithful clergymen were always ready to give their aid to the Committee in obtaining information, in detecting imposture, and in judiciously impressing upon their flock the duty of depending upon themselves, of assisting each other, and of diligently returning to their work as soon as work could be found for them. One great difficulty throughout was to so place the amount which we gave that it should not be misapplied, and intemperance and other vices, by the constant check they gave to our efforts for relief, were constantly bring- ing their own punishment with them. 2 18 The Committee felt that there was still another class of suf- ferers, perhaps the most of all deserving their sympathy and assistance. It is those whose injuries, though not fatal, yet have been very severe, and may prove incurable. It was deter- mined, at the very first, that for such cases a fund must be retained and invested, of which the income for an indefinite period might be applied for their relief. Happily, we now see that such cases can be but very few. We had feared, at first, that they would be numerous. Tliere is but a single case of amputation of limb — that of Michael Daley, a married man, between forty and fifty years old, who has lost his forearm. Generally the injuries of greatest severity are injuries to the spine. Two young girls, — Augusta Sampson and Maria Hall, — both nearly helpless upon their beds, have been, to the Com- mittee, to the inspectors, to the physicians, and to a large circle of acquaintances and friends, objects of deep interest and sym- pathy. Their sufferings have been great, and they have borne them well ; and whatever may be the length of time during which they may need assistance, it will be given to them. Of the other cases of less severity, some may still be of long duration, and may end in partial recovery only. For all these it is in- tended that the sum of $20,000 sliall be retained as a permanent fund, until it shall become evident tliat so large a sum will not be required. Incidents without number might be related of individual cases, full of interest, but tlicy would swell this report far beyond its legitimate bounds. Of the wliole number of persons to whom assistance has been in some form or other furnished by the Committee, there now remain only about forty still on our list, and of tliese cases many will soon be discharged. The accounts which follow show that about six hundred persons directly received relief. Probably from two to three thousand were, to some extent, assisted tliereby. In addition to what was made a matter of charge in money, the very large contributions in clothing and other necessaries, and tlie liberality of railroads and steamboats in placing free passes to almost any extent at 19 our disposal, would greatly swell the true amount of relief afforded. Of clothing especially, an enormous quantity was received ; and it was all needed. The heavy outer garments which a New England January requires, are necessarily thrown off in the heated atmosphere of the Mills, and of course were all lost ; and in such dreadful havoc of life and limb, it will readily be believed that few could escape with their clothing whole. Of the expenses incurred at the " Pemberton Home," $820 were defrayed by contributions for that purpose, exclusive of what passed through our hands, and many individuals have also freely distributed aid in ways not brought to public notice. If to all this we add the value, which money cannot measure, of that tender and persevering kindness, freely and eagerly bestowed, which watched night after night by the restless bed- side, ministering to the suffering as woman only can minister, we present the record of a charity which, in its promptness, in its extent, and in its efficiency, is almost unexampled. Enough has now been said to give an idea of the extent of our work, and of the manner in which it has thus far been accomplished. It only remains for us to express our deep sense of the gratitude which is due to that generosity which furnished us with such ample means of alleviating the suffering around, us, — means which seem to have been as large as could be judi-. ciously applied, — and our happiness in having been the instru- ments of their distribution. I am, respectfully, your obedient servant, CHARLES S. STORROW. 20 MR. BARNARD'S REPORT. Boston, Apeil 16, 1860. To the Relief Committee of the City of Lawrence, Mass.: Gentlemen, — I have the pleasure to report to you relative to the temporary Home for those injured in the late accident on the Pemberton. A few days subsequent to that accident it appeared to me that personal service and proper accommodations for the care of the injured would be more needed than anything else. As- sured of the cooperation of some of my friends, I offered to supply these wants as far as I could. The offer was accepted. On the 18th January Dr. Stearns and I went to Lawrence, where we found excellent rooms to be furnished by you for this purpose. The so-called Home was at once organized, and it was kept open by us until the evening of the 17th March, a period of sixty days, when it was resigned to your care. We have received 27 patients more or less injured. Some of them remained with us for a few days only ; some during the whole term. It was not intended by us to supply medical or surgical attention to the injured. This had been already done by you. Our object was simply to provide good accommoda- tions, proper nursing, and those tender attentions which it is the pleasure as well as the duty of every right-feeling man to render to the sick. Tlic patients were therefore attended by the various medical gentlemen of your city, and I desire to avail myself of this opportunity to bear my humble testimony to the faithful manner in which these services were rendered by all of them. Their skill is shown by the rapid recovery of the patients. Very many of them left us entirely cured, and it is probable, at least, that none of them will be permanently dis- abled. As is usual in all well-regulated hospitals I secured the ser- vices of what is called a house-physician for the general medical 21 supervision of the house, and to decide upon the proper cases for admission. Supposing that your physicians would be over- tasked by the great number of tlie injured, I at first made ar- rangements with Doctors Green and Oliver of Boston for that purpose. It was soon obvious to me that tlie expected extraor- dinary demand upon your medical men was exaggerated, and from this and other reasons it was deemed best that these gen- tlemen should retire. Dr. Morse, of your city, kindly consented to take their place. To his excellent judgment and ready appreciation of our aims we are most deeply indebted. Two excellent regular nurses, Mrs. Richards and Miss Robin- son, were hired. In addition to tliat, I was honored with the assiduous and voluntary assistance of twelve ladies from Boston and Lawrence, whose names I cannot report. But I must be permitted to add that if our little Home has done any good, it was chiefly owing to these Ladies. It is indeed some compen- sation for such a terrible calamity as that which gave rise to our enterprise, that it has thus confirmed us in our respect for woman, a principle wliich lies at the basis of all social progress. The expenses of the Home were, viz.; — For Food, Fuel and labor on do.. Gas, ----- Furniture, - - - - Wine and fruit, - - - Flowers, - . - - Washing, - - - - Servants and shaving. Watchers, - - - - Nurses, - - - - Medical supervision, - Books and papers, Clothing, - - - - Riding, . - - - Total, - - - $1127 01 You offered to pay tliis expense, but it is obvious that very many of these items could not consistently be charged to your 1345 31 48 25 9 10 56 98 52 61 22 75 24 00 8T 65 61 00 65 97 100 00 7 32 150 65 95 42 22 funds, and besides that, "vre desired to contribute something besides our personal services. The amount in my hands, ap- propriated to this purpose, was f 820. I am willing that you should pay the remainder, if you feel authorized and willing to do so. At the commencement we met with some prejudices and misap- prehension, all of which have, I believe, been removed. To us it has been almost an entire satisfaction. To you. Gentlemen, to His Honor the Mayor, to various members of the City Govern- ment, to your devoted City Missionary, Mr. Wilson, and to your fellow-citizens generally, I desire to return my sincere thanks for a hearty cooperation. This sad calamity drew upon the sympathy of the whole country, and therefore it is that the City of Lawrence is en- deared to her sister cities. Whilst we reflect meekly and seri- ously upon the sad lesson of this event, let us not forget that it has also furnished us with a new proof of the strength and value of our blessed religion, and of our common humanity. I am, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, JAMES M. BARNARD. 23 c« r^ Oi t^ iO (M T(< •^ cr> ti o o t>. i^ o LI CO ■<* c^ CO ^ €& «^ o ' CO "^ IX) l>. oo co^ Jz; o oco '- id o o — < TJ< t!

In most instances money was given to the persons themselves very sparingly ; in many cases, not at all. The foregoing account shows there- fore th°e amount expended for them,— not the amount of money given outright. Of the cases on the list some of the most severe were attended to at the Pern- berton Home, the expense of which is given in the aggregate, and not charged to their account; and many others, of course, received relief in articles in- cluded in the general distribution. Between forty and fifty are still under the care of the Committee. There are two death cases, those of Margaret Turner and Catherine Clarke, not included above, the Committee not having as yet been able to obtain satisfactory information in regard to their relatives or dependents. The names in brackets are those of members of the same family. / 6^1 '^ i I \ ^ 1^ r,- ^-^ .^^ flO LIBRfiRY OF CONGRESS 014 078 694 9
