On three several occasions,—after the battle of Gettysburg in July, 1863, after the battle of the Wilderness in May, 1864, and after the fall of Richmond in April, 1865,—Mr. Demond, Mr. Edward S. Tobey, and some other members of the Army Committee of the Christian Commission, sat in the Merchants' Exchange, in Boston, and received the voluntary offerings of the people. No one was asked to give; every cent received was a free gift. And the result was as follows: on the first occasion, thirty-five thousand dollars; on the second, sixty thousand dollars; and on the third, thirty thousand dollars,— making an a

We have not been able to procure a detailed account of their labors, but this fact may be taken as an illustration of their entire course. Immediately after the battle of the Wilderness, in May, 1864, they raised twenty-two hundred and eighty-two dollars for the benefit of the sick and wounded. Hancock Incorporated July 2, 1776.

ame amount was appropriated in 1862 for the payment of bounties and for State aid to soldiers' families, and ten thousand dollars in 1863 for the same objects. West Boylston furnished about two hundred and forty men for the war, which was a surplus of ten over and above all demands. Twelve were commissioned officers. One of the enlisted men was Sergeant Thomas Plunkett, who, while carrying the colors of his regiment (the Massachusetts Twenty-first), in the battle of the Wilderness, in May, 1864, was struck with a ball which took off both his arms. He fell forward with the colors under him. He was taken to the rear, where his arms were amputated. Strange to say, he recovered, and is now a respectable, healthy citizen of West Boylston. The regimental colors, deposited in the State House, retain the blood-stains of the gallant sergeant. The total amount of money appropriated and expended by the town on account of the war, exclusive of State aid, was twenty-two thousand five h
