Artillery ; Colonel Jones Frankle, of the Second Mas-
sachusetts Heavy Artillery (this officer was captain in

teenth Regiment, and came out of the war brigadier-
general of volunteers by brevet) ; Colonel Charles P.
Messer, of the Fiftieth Regiment; Major Luther Day,
of the Seventeenth Regiment; Jlajor Andrew Jackson

The town raised and expended lo carry on the war,
exclusive of State aid, !!fllS,135.49.

The total amount raised and paid out for State aid,
refunded by the Commonwealth, was $114,542.24.

May 15, 1869, the town accepted the city charier, by
a vote of 671 yeas to 141 nays. September 1, 1869,
the town accepted an act of the Legislature to unite
Bradford with Haverhill in a city by a vote of 212
yeas to 67 nays. But Bradford voted no.

Monday, January 3, 1870, Warner R. Whittier, the
first mayor-elect, took the oath of office, administered
by Alfred Kitttedge, justice of the peace.

David B. Jenney was unanimously elected city
clerk, and has been unanimously re-elected at every
successive election since that time.

Mayor Whittier was re-elected in 1871, and his suc-
cessors have been : Levi Taylor, in 1872, who was
re-elected but resigned ; J. V. Smiley, in 1873 and
1874; Alpheus Currier, in 1875; Joseph K. Jenness,
in 1876 and 1877 ; Nathan S. Kimball, in 1878 and
1879; Charles Shapleigh, in 1880 and 1881; Moses
How, in 1882 and 1883 ; Calvin H. Weeks, in 1884 ;
Joseph H. Sheldon, in 1885 ; Calvin H. Weeks, in
1886; Joseph H.Sheldon, in 1887; and George H.
Carleton, in 1888.

January 22, 1743, the house of Dr. H. Brown, at
Holt's Rocks, was burned, and his daughter, twenty-
three years old and a son of Dr. Currier, perished.

Sunday, April 16, 1775, an alarming fire swept
away all the west side of Main Street, from the pres-
ent Court Street to White's corner on Merrimac
Street. Seventeen buildings were burned, embracing
a brick tavern owned by John White, stores of Dea-
con Joseph Dodge and James Duncan, and a distillery.
October, 1827, the house and barn of Daniel Ap-
pleton and the barn of Hon. James H. Duncan, on
Main, not far from Court Street, were destroyed by
fire.

On the morning of January 1, 1847, the meeting-
house of the First Parish was entirely destroyed.

Sunday morning, November 16, 1873, a fire broke
out in Washburn Block, near Washington Square, ex-
tending to the brick shoe manufactories on Washing-
ton Street. By the energy of the Fire Department and
with prompt aid from Lawrence it was at last subdued.



Thirty-five business firms were burned out, and the
loss was estimated at $150,000. Two men— Mr.
Amos Heath, of Bradford, and Mr. Amos George, of
Haverhill — lost their lives in trying to save their
property. This was the most important lire in the
annals of Haverhill, until February 17, 1882, when,
just before midnight, a fire broke out in a wooden
block on the north side of Washington Street. Valu-
able aid was received from Newbury port and Lawrence
and the fire was at last stayed, but not until it had
destroyed property estim« ted at more than .'?1,080,000.
Joseph St. Germain, a fireman, was killed by a falling
chimney. Another person, named Whittier, was seri-
ously injured and long disabled, but ultimately recov-
ered. Apprehensions were expressed by a few that this
very serious disaster had so crippled the town that it
would have great difficulty in recovering from the
shock. This, however, was not the prevailing expres-
sion, which was one of courage and even buoyancy.
Business soon became active again, and the object of
the sufierers was to resume operations in the old
localities as soon as possible. This was largely ac-
complished before the first anniversary of the fire, and
in a most satisfactory manner. Beautiful and sub-
stantial buildings had been erected in place of those
de-troyed, and the anniversary of the outbreak was
celebrated by a si)irited banquet at the Eagle House.
Through the exhibition of pluck aud energy made by
the sufierers, they won the sympathy of the entire
business community of the country. The fire, dis-
tressing as it seemed, is generally admitted to have
been a blessing in disguise. July 4, 1876, the National
Centennial Anniversary was observed with considera-
ble display and much enthusiasm. In the afternoon
a very appropriate and valuable oration was delivered
by Dr. John Crowell before the city government and
the public generally, at the City Hall.

The limits assigned to this sketch have already
been over-passed. It is as well, perhaps, that space
does not allow recapitulation of recent even's, which
are apt to seem disproportionately large, till the lapse
of time has thrown them into proper perspective.
Yet the writer regrets very much not to be able to use
material placed at his disposal with friendly courtesy.
He trusts not to seem indifferent to politeness, especi-
ally of tho-e who furnished valuable information
about the Masonic, Odd Fellows and other charitable
and friendly organizations ; as Major How Post 47,
G. A. R. One word may be pardoned in reference
to the work which has been done in the past towards
elucidating the history of Haverhill.

In 1816, Leverett Saltoustall, born in Haverhill,
and much attached to the place of his nativity, wrote
an excellent sketch, which was published in the pro-
ceedings of the Massachusetts Historical Society. It
is not otherwise accessible to the public. It was
limited in scope, but made an excellent beginning.

In March, 1830, John G. Whittier, then conduct-
ing the Essex Gazette, and a young man of twenty-

three, issued proposals to publish a history of Haver-
hill, in one volume of two hundred psges, duodecimo;
price, eighty-seven and one-half cents a copy. He
undoubtedly found that the sacrifice of time and of
money involved in the scheme would be too great,
and so abandoned the project. He, however, with
characteristic kindness, placed the material which he
had collected at the disposal of B. L. Mirick, a young
man employed in the store of Mr. John Dow, as clerk,
who, in June, 1831, issued a prospectus for a history
of the town. It appeared in March, 1832, at the
price of one dollar; although it bears the marks of
haste, it is in the main a spirited narrative and very
creditable to the compiler. The style is s)metimes
too tlorid. Chase's book (1861), notwithstanding some
inaccuracies, is a valuable one. He was out of health,
and would doubtless have corrected certain errors him-
self, had he lived. His book will always be an iudis-
pensable basis for work in the same direction. But
town histories require infinite patience about detail,
and perennial revising. Although seeming to him-
self to have exercised reasonable caution, the writer
of this sketch, is perfectly aware that he may have
committed egregious blunders, for which he asks par-
don in advance. E. P. Hill, a few years siuce, wrote
valuable sketches of this and neighboring towns.

The two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the
settlement of Haverhill will soon be here, (1890).
Perhaps some self-sacrificing persou will mark the
auspicious occasion by a careful and complete history.

The following is substantially a copy of the soldiers'
record of the town of Haverhill, kept by the town
clerks, in accordance with law ; corrected by compar-
ison with the military records and other
