Company G (Grey Eagles), Stoneham.-13th Reg.

Early in the struggle, the citizens of Stoneham took measures for raising a company, and on the 17th of April a company had been formed and recruited to its full number. J. P. Gould was chosen to the captaincy, which he retained till the departure of the regiment to the seat of war, when, being promoted to the rank of major of the regiment, Capt. Fiske was commissioned in his place. Although the company was ready thus early, such was the eagerness of the people to spring to their country's defence, that the different companies could not be accepted as fast as they were offered, and it was not till the last of July that this company was ordered into service. During the time that it was waiting to join some regiment the town liberally contributed to its support, appropriating nearly $4,000 for that purpose. A uniform was also presented to each of the men, at a cost of $12, and a full set of equipments to each of the officers, by the citizens. In July, orders having been received to report at Fort Independence, they left the town, to join the 13th Regiment, nearly three hundred of the citizens volunteering as an escort.

Company H (Mechanic Riflemen), Natick.-13th Reg.

This company was organized in 1860. Great enthusiam was manifested when the company took their departure from the town. Flags were displayed in great profusion, and the citizens turned out en masse to cheer, and bid them a long and perhaps a final adieu. The members of the different engine companies escorted them to this city, while the Natick Brass Band furnished excellent music for the occasion. Before the company left, the town, at an expense of $1300, provided each member with a good uniform and a rubber blanket, and each of the musicians with a Colt's revolver.

Company K (Westboro' Rifles), Westboro'.-13th Reg.

Organized April 27, 1861, as Massachusetts Volunteer Militia, under the call for three months' troops, and when the order was received to accept none but volunteers for three years or the war, the company immediately voted to serve for that period. After waiting impatiently for orders nearly three months, and being, at the end of this time, on the point o fdisbanding, they were at last attached (June 29) to the 13th Regiment.

The towns of Westboro', Southboro', Shrewsbury, and Upton, to which places the greater part of the members belong, furnished them with uniforms, fatigue suits, havefocks, toilet materials, &c., &c., and paid to each member three dollars per week from the time they were first organized until they were mustered into the United States service, with ten dollars additional to each member on the day they left home.

There were seven men in this company from the town of Hopkinton, but that town declining to uniform or aid them, they were uniformed by the town of Westboro'. The captain and lieutenants also were furnished with swords and all other necessary equipments by the town of Westboro'. On the 28th of June a bountiful collation was furnished for the company, by the citizens at the Town Hall, under the direction of the military committee The hall was decorated with flags and portraits of officers who were in the Revolutionary War, among which was one of Col. Thomas Marshall (by Copley), who was at that time in command of Fort Independence, on Castle Island. Addresses were made by gentlemen of Westboro' and the adjoining towns, and the occasion was a very pleasant and memorable

one.

The first commander, Capt. Blackmer, who was formerly pastor of the Methodist Church in Westboro', resigned his commission, Oct. 17, while the company was stationed at Harper's Ferry, Md., and its present commander, Capt. Hovey, was appointed Nov. 6, having previously held commission as 1st lieut. Company D.

Capt. Hovey has had many years' experience in our State militia, having formerly been a member of the "Boston Light Infantry," and afterward a lieutenant in the " Lowell Mechanic Phalanx.” From all the accounts which we have received of him, we are fully persuaded that no better man commands a company in the volunteer service.
