* The column in the table relative to the number of soldiers killed, or who
died through the effects of the Rebellion, is not as perfect as we could have
wished; but many of the town clerks failed to see the importance of this val-
uable table; or refused to trouble themselves a few hours with some citizen of
their respective towns who was well acquainted with the people. Memory,
by age, does not freshen, and fifty years hence, there will not be a column
within the lids of this book as important and valuable as this table referring
to the number of soldiers wbo sacrificed their lives to maintain and perpetuate
the Union. One hundred and forty-one towns responded to this question, and
enough to show that fully twenty per cent, of those enlisted in the call of
1862, and subsequent calls, were killed or died from the effects of the war.
Many men died from disease, contracted in the service, after they were dis-
charged, consequently no military record could be given.

f In 1871, the State assumed a certain portion of the town debts incurred
by the war of the Rebellion, and the above column shows the amount award*
ed to each town.
