[156] thousand four hundred and eight dollars and fifty-five cents ($30,408.55). A considerable amount was raised by private subscription which is not included in this amount. The amount of money raised and expended by the town during the four years of the war for State aid to soldiers' families, and which was afterwards repaid by the Commonwealth, was as follows: In 1861, $213.00; in 1862, $1,301.60; in 1863, $2,264.04; in 1864, $2,093.75; in 1865, $1,900.00. Total amount in four years, $7,772.39. We only know in general terms that the ladies of Somerset ‘did a great deal of work for the soldiers during the war.’
