By a hurried search and study of church membership lists, rosters and adjutant generals' reports we have been able to secure the names of about forty soldiers, who either before, after or during service were affiliated with us by church, society or Sabbath School membership or family ties. It is not claimed that this list is perfect. It may contain names that it should not, and undoubtedly does not contain those that should be added. The first martyr of the slave holder's rebellion from our town, a member of the loth Massachusetts Regiment Band, was a member of our Sabbath School. He was Edward A. Chase, a brother of Deacon George W. Chase, and died of disease at Camp Brightwood, near Washington, D. C., September 25, 1861. His remains were brought home and buried with appropriate services in Hillside cemetery. Of a class of ten boys who came out of the infant class and grew up to manhood together, four, Willis G. Jackson, J. Henry Orr, Charles P. Pitt and the writer saw service in the civil war. ROLL OF HONOR. Edward A. Chase, Willis G. Jackson, Henry Paul, S. J.
