[571] Thirty-eight were commissioned officers. The whole amount of money appropriated and expended by the town on account of the war, exclusive of State aid, was twenty-six thousand seven hundred and twenty-seven dollars and fifty-nine cents ($26,727.59). A large amount must have been raised by private subscription, of which we have no account. The amount paid by the town for State aid to the families of volunteers during the war, and repaid by the Commonwealth, was as follows: In 1861, $4,151.77; in 1862, $12,601.95 ; in 1863, $12,047.19; in 1864, $12,436.74; in 1865, $6,600.00. Total amount, $47,837.65. The ladies of Plymouth contributed liberally of their time and means for the comfort of the soldiers absent in the army. Among other services rendered they made the uniforms worn by one of the Plymouth companies, having met in Leyden Hall each day for more than a week for that purpose.
