now brought the chapter of the great Rebellion of 1861 down to the
clo.se of enlistment of troopa in September, 1864. From this time to
the close of the war there was one continuous line of successful
victories over the Confederates. The year 1865 opened with bright
prospects before us, by the capture of Fort Fisher, January 15th ; of
Columbia, S. C, February 17th ; Charleston, S. C, February 18th;
Wilmington, N. C, February 21st; of Richmond, April 3d ; flight of the
ConfeJcrato officers of State from Richmond, April -Ith ; surrender of
Lee's army April 9th ; surrender of Johnston's army, April 26th;
capture of Jefi'. Davis, May 10th. But that which gave the greatest
joy to the Union people was the surrender of Lee. Then we began to
see through the clouds that had been so long over us, and in the
middle of May, 1SU5, the greatest armed rebellion of the world was
at an end, so far as fighting was concerned, and the nation now
appears to be as prosperous as ever. Business is good, mechanics
have returned to tiieir occupations, the farmers to their long-
neglected fields, and eveiything wears the appearance of a peaceful
and prosperous hereafter. We are, as a people, stronger than before
the war. We have stood up against everything that any people has
ever been called to boar, and now the . " star-spangled banner in
triumph still \v;ives over the land of the free and the home of the
brave." CHAPTER XL Militia History — First Militia Company —

company formed in the ancient town of Bridgewater was formed
Oct. 2, 1GS9. Thomas Hayward was chosen first captain, John
Hayward lieutenant, and Samuel Packard ensign.
 HISTORY OF BROCKTON. 647 At that time the militia of the
counties of Barnstable, Plymouth, and Bristol constituted one
regiment, and Josiah Winslow, of Marsiifield, was the eoioDcl. In
1TC2 the population of the town had become numerous enough to
increase the number of companies to six. The one in the North
Parish of Brid^ewuter (now Brockton) was called the Sixth Cuiupauj.
Daniel Howard was first captain iu the parish, Robert Howard
lieutenant, and Abiel Packard ensi;_'n. These were succeeded by
Robert Howard, promoted to captain, Abiel Packard, promoted to
lieutenant, and Henry Kingman eusign. Afterwards Lieut. Abiel
Packard was promoted to captain, and Ensign Henry Kingman
promoted to lieutenant, and Constant Southworth ensign. These
continued in oiEce till about 1765, at which time the Sixth Company
in the town was divided into two distinct and separate companies,
known as the North and South. The line of division was across the
parish from east to west, near the Centre Village. The officers of the
North Company were Barnabas Howard captain, John Howard
lieutenant, and Abiel Packard ensign. The officei-s of the South
Company were Isaac Packard captain, Josiah Packard lieutenant, and
Issachar Snell ensign. These officers held their commissions till the
Revolutionary war. In 1773 the military companies of ancient
Bridgewater had been increased to nine, and these, with two
companies from Abington, constituted the Third Regiment, of which
Josiah Edson was colonel. This re;.;iment was honored with a review
by Governor Hutchinson on the 13th of October of that year. Josiah
Hayden was appointed Colonel of this regiment, July 1, 1781 ;
Dauiel Cary, major, Sept. 6, 1792. In ISIO the Plymouth County
brigade was placed under tiie command of Col. Sylvanus Lazell,
promoted to brigadier-general. The brigade then consisted of four
regiments of infantry, a battalion of'cavalry, and a battalion of
artillery. Among the field and statf officers of the Third Regiment

Nuhum Reynolds and fifty others, to form a cavalry company, which
was organized June 27, 1853, under the name of " North

of the various calls upon the coniuionwealth for troops for the United
States service, during the Kehellion of 1861, the volunteer militia of
Massachusetts, as it existed previous to the beijiuning of the war,
was nearly broken up, by the enlistment of its members individually,
and as companies and rcj^iments, for three months', nine months',
one years', three years', and one hundred days' service; and the law
establishing the volunteer militia bein^ no longer in conformity with
the system of organization prescribed by the laws of tiie United
States, it was found impossible to recruit this militia as the law then
stood. To remedy this evil, the Legislature of Massachusetts passed a
law in 18U-t for the reon'anizatioD of the entire militia of the
commonwealth. This act was approved May 14, 18G4, and all laws ia
existence previous to that date for the regulation of the militia were
repealed. The new law provided for a new enrollment, to be made
by the .several assessors of the towns throughout the State, of all
persons between the ages of eighteen and forty-five, the same to be
returned to the adj'utant-geueral. The commander-in-chief then
proceeded to divide the commonwealth into military districts of
companies. Under this arrangement there were two hundred and
forty-nine districts established. North Bridgewater (now Brockton)
and West Bridgewater coiisiiluted two districts, and was divided as
follows : District Number Sixty includes the whole of North
Bridgewater except the school districts four, five, six, and seven,
otherwise known as Marshall, Ames, Campello, and Copeland
Districts. District Number Sixty-one comprised the southerlyschool
districts, numbered four, five, six, and seven, in Brockton, and the
whole of West Bridgewater. An order was next issued to some justice
of the peace within the district, to call a meeting for the election of
captains of the several companies. After the election of the captain,
it became his duty to enroll all persona liable to enrollment within
their respective limits. " And all persons under the aj;e uf twenty-
four years, liable to do military duty, shall be enrolled in one roll, and
constitute the 'active militia.' And all such persons as shall be above
the age of twenty-four years, together with all persons that shall be
exempt from duty, excepting in cases of ridt, invasion, insurrection,
war, etc., shall be enrullLd in another roll, and constitute the '
reserve militia.' " The active militia was to have been formed into
regiments, brigades, and divisions by the commanderin-chief, and
organized in conformity with the laws of the United States, subject
to such changes as the commander-in-chief might make from time
to time. The reserve militia was to have been organized into
companies, regiments, brigades, and divisions, and attached to such
brigades in the active militia a.s the commander-in-chief should
deem expedient, when ordered out for actual service. Orders were
received by George W. Bryant. K.-m(., to notify a meeting to be held
Jan. oO, IStlf), for the choice of a captain for District Sixty. The
ineetiiig was held at the armory on Cliapel Street, at one o'clock P.M.,
when Samuel F. Howaid was elected captain, who was commissioned
Jan. 30, 18Ur>. A meeting was subsequently held for the choice of
lieutenants April 1, 18G5, when George Southworth was elected firat
lieutenant, and Bradi'ord Wild .-second

HISTORY OF BROCKTON. 649 lieutenant., both of svhom

were coramissioDed April 1, 1865. The choice of captaius for District
Sixty-one wus made at a meeting held at West Bridgowuter, on
Friday, Jan. 27, 1865, at which Austin Packard, Esq., was called to
preside. Mr. Thomas P. Ripley was elected captain, and received a
commission dated JaD. 27, 1865. At a meeting of the company soon
after, in April, Nathaniel M. Davenport, Jr., was elected first
lieutenant, and Zibu C. Keith, second lieutenant, both of Campellii.
Agreeably to instructions from headquarters an enrollment was
made by the captains of the abovenamed districts, and placed in the
adjutant-general's office, in which we find the number of persons
enrolled in District Number Sixty, Capt. Samuel F. Howard, for active
service waa one hundred and thirty men ; reserve militia, five
hundred and nineteen men. The number of persons in District
Number Si.xty-one, Capt. Thomas P. Ripley, for active service, was
seven ty-eij;ht men ; reserve militia, three hundred aud nine men.
We have given the foregoing account of the militia organization up
to May, 1865. The companies had hardly been formed, and officers
chosen, when the Legislature passed a law, approved May 16, 1865,
disbanding the " active militia," allowing them to volunteer in the
service for five years. " All companies that do not volunteer within
sixty days from May IG, 1865, shall be discharged," thus leaving a
militia force of volunteers only, of which there are but few old
companies. Cuimingham Rifles. — Among the present militia

CHAPTER XII. PCBLIC-HODSES AND TRADERS. Fublic-Houses. —
The city of Brockton is situated on the direct route from New
Bedford to Boston, and previous to the building of the railroads that
connect the two cities it was a stopping-place for travelers needing
refreshment. At one time there were three public-houses in the
village, beside one on the turnpike south of " Tilden's Corner." One
of the most prominent public-houses in early days was one kept by
Maj. Daniel Cary, on the site where Rufus P. Kingman, Esq., now
resides, formerly owned and occupied by the late John Wales. Next
in order was a house kept by Barnabas Howard, at the north end of
the town, where entertainment was provided for man and beast.
Silas Packard kept public-hou.se ou the corner of Main and Court
iSireets, formerly occupied by the late Capt. Benjamin Clark. Col.
Edward Southworth also kept public-house at his residence, on the
site now occupied by the ■' City Block," and later Maj. Nathan Hay
ward kept near the corner of Main aud Ea^it Elm Streets, the site
now occupied by "Mercantile Building." Nathan Hayward, Newton
Shaw, Nathaniel H. Cross, Capt. John Packard, and Edward J. Snow
have each kept public-house near the corner of Main and Crescent
Streets, aud opposite the residence of Rufus P. Kingman, Esq. In the
early part of 1833 preparations were made for the erection of a new
and more commodious house than was then in the town. July 4th of
that year a house waa raised by Messrs. Bela Keith, Esq., aud
Benjamin Kingman, who were the owners till 1856, when it passed
into the hands of Tyler Cobb, who was

the past two centuries our country has enjoyed a system of
education that has had no parallel. The progress of our country, witli
all its Varied interests, luay be attributed to tlie education of her
people. There is no one thing in which the happiness and prosperity
of society is so mucli involved as in the proper education, the moral
traiuiiifr, and discipline of youth, and the many advantages arisiuj;
from the same cannot be too highly estimated or overstated. The
boldness of the measure aiming at universal education through the
medium of free schools has no precedent in the history of the world.
Every nation abroad, as well aa States at home, are imitating our
example. The credit of originating these free institutions is due to
our Pilgrim Fathers. It was in the cabin of the " Mayflower" that they
agreed among themselves to a written constitution of government
which was the nucleus of all the free governments of the earth. At
the time they landed on our shores two grand ideas pervaded their
minds, namely : religion, or the spiritual interest of their people, and
knowledge, or the education of the young. Free Schools. — The
fisheries of Cape Cod were early laid under contributions for the
support of free schools in 1671. At a public festival a few years since
the following sentiments were offered : " Mackerel Schools and Free
Schools, the one the support of the other ;" another, " The
Fishermen of Cape Cod, they get their learning on their own Hook."
These institutions have long been under the control of the
government, by them supported and controlled, sanctioned and
protected by law as much as the right of a person to their own mode
of worship ; and the distinguishing feature of the system is in the
advantage of commonschool instruction, which is free to all, without
distinction of race, color, or position, and is secured to every child in
the State, that the property of the commonwealth shall be
subservient to eijual and ade(|uate instruction. The mass of the
people have been educated, and we have enjoyed what no other
nation has been permitted to enjoy, — we have learned for ourselves
how to conduct a free government, and the success of the same
may be seen in the progress that has been and is now being made
in all that tontributes to make a nation prosperous and happy. From
earliest time the policy of Massachusetts has been to develop the
minds of her people and to imbue them with the principles of duty.
In doing this she has had the aid of the many towns within her
limits, and has a system which is destined to greater and mure
elevated usefulness than has ever before been :-een. The town of
Brockton has ever been ready to contribute of her public funds for
educational purposes. Previous to the incorporation of the old North
Parish the parish paid their proportional part of school expenses of
the town of Bridgewater, and received a share of the benefits of the
same. At a meeting of the town of Bridgewater, held Nov. 2-t, 17-lG,
a committee of twelve were chosen '■ To consult what method may
be most beneficial to the Town in improving of ye school for the
futer." Robert Howard, Abiel Packard were chosen on the part of the
North Parish. The committee made the following report : Dec. 1,
1746. " Voted that the sum of £25u, old Tenor, to support schooling
in the town one year next following, and that the grammar-.school
has been kept longer in a precinct than htis been useful when it
comes to their turn, and that the west precinct shall have the
improvement of ye grammar-school the first year, and then the other
precincts in order shall have the grammar-school according to their
proportion of ye Tax." We next find a record in the parish books as
follows: March 21, 17-17. 'At a meeting held this day To chtise a
committee to take care of the money, and gat a scole masture, or a
scoole dame, and to see if the precinct can agree whare the scoole
shall be keept this year," it was voted " That Timothy Keith, Robert
Howard, and Abiel Packard should be a committee to take care of
the scoole the year Insewing." Also, " Voted by the jneciiict, that the
precinct should budevided into three scoulc Ricks, to begin at Elisha
Dunbar's, and frtiiu thence to Abia Keith's, and from thence to
Hencry Kingman's all to the South of that line to be the South Rick,
And the meedal Rick to extend North as far as the north side of Abiel
Packard's field that Joy ties Zachariah Guriiey's, by an east and west
Line from said place. " Eiich peart having Equal parte In the town
treasury for draft of money belonging to the precinct for the use of
the scoole to be drawcd by the committee for the scoole or their
order." For a long time after the establishment of the North Parish,
or Precinct, there were but three school districts, which were divided
as above. " The subject of new schoolHouses was brot to the
attention of the parish, August 15, 1748, To chuse a man or men to

 HISTORY OF BROCKTON. C53 the money due from the
town to maintain a scoole and to dispose of the same in the best
method ; Alsow, To see if the precinct will build one or more scool-
houses for the use of the Parisli scool, and to act anything proper for
accomplishing the same. The meeting was setteled by the choise of
Daniel Howard, moderator. Old School Districts. — " Voted that
Timothy j Keith, Abiel Packard, and Robert Howard should bee a
committee to draw the money out of the town treasury this present
year, their perporsionabel part for the use of the Parash Scools, and
to dispose of the same in the way and manner voted by the precinct
last year past." Dec. 9, 1751, a meeting was held " To agree How
and whare the scoole shall be keept the Insueing year. Voted that
the scool shuld be keept in three places in the precinct ; also. Voted
that the meddal part shuld have the scool the first fore months, and
the south part should have it the nest two months, and the north
part, which extends from the north line of the middle rick as far
north as the town extends, should have it the next three months."
A^ain, March 2S, 175:-1, the laying out of the money and "
settcUing of the scool" was left to the precinct committee. The
people of the precinct, feeling dissatisfied with the division, called a
meeting, which was held March 11, 1784, "To take the minds of the
precinct respecting the grammar school for the future, and act what
may be thought proper concerning the same," at which it was ''
Voted to divide the precinct into four Ricks for the Grammar-School ;
also, Voted that Barnabas Howard, Dea. Jonathan Gary, Mr. Matthew
Kingman, and Ensign Issachar Snell be a committee for the purpose
aforesaid, and make report at the fall meeting." Sept. 6, 1784, the
committee for dividing the district into four ricks for the grammar-
school gave in the following report : " We, the subsoribors,' being
chosen a committee by the North Precinct, in Bridgewater, in order
to divide said precinct into four parts for the better accommodutioD
of the Inhabitants of said precinct to improve the Orramoiar School,
and having considered the same, do report as followeth, namely :
That a line be drawn from Mr. Zachariah Cary's westerly to Ephraim
Churchill's, and from thence to Eoston Line, and those families on
the south side of said line to be the South Riuk, and those on the
north side of said line to be the North Rick, and from said Cary'a
easterly to William Shaw's, and from thence to Abington line, to
divide the easterly part of said precinct, those families on the south

above report being read, it was accepted, and the meeting voted "
that the Grammar School be keept six weeks in each Rick." " Voted

Grammar School this year." After the above division of the parish
into districts, or ricks, the precinct committee had cliarge of the
division of the school fund as it was drawn (Vom the town treasury,
