Medford Historical Society Papers, Volume 30., Foreword. (search)
Afterwards. Medford square was thronged with citizens and children for the observance of Patriot's Day. Just a few of the old veterans of ‘61 are left to us now, but they were loyally present, guests of our president in the old home of Capt. Isaac Hall. The usual features of the day were increasingly well observed and the modern rider sped on his way. Memorial Day came, the day of days for the comrades of the Grand Army. They number but eleven now. Eight of them, Commander George L. Stokell, Charles O. Burbank, Edgar Hall, Alvin Reed, Winslow Joyce, Thomas Kelley, G. H. LesDnier, followed the old flag to the silent city to mark their comrades' graves. A visiting comrade from Vermont, J. M. Safford, went with them. We grasped their hands and looked into their faces once more, remembering the long-ago time in which they lived, loyally dared and bravely fought. On Flag Day four of them participated in the public exercises. The Old Guard dies, but it never surrenders.

He was the youngest of his father's family of six daughters and three sons, whose home was on the slope of Grass hill, where is now the Mount Hermon school. There, also, King Philip made his last stand against the settlers, a century before. The genealogy in History of Northfield mentions Nathan, but tells of his removal in 1800 to Vermont. How much we wished for the missing pages of that letter! But we took up another clue, that of the colonists it mentioned. After a long search we found, in the Massachusetts State Library, reports of the American Colonization Society. That society was organized in 1816 for the purpose of transporting free and manumitted negroes to Africa, and in 1819 Congress appropriated $100,000 in aid of its work. Henry Clay was a long while its president and Francis Scott Key its vice-president,
