History Of Glover.
SEVENTH PAPER.

OF neighbOrlng towns, or than the peO-
pie Of Vermont generally during the
late civil war, but we think it evident
that they performed the part required
of them honorably and cheerfully.-
As soon as the rebellion became
known as something actually entered
upon by the citizens of the southern
states, public meetings were held and
the grounds of complaint were fully
discussed by the clergymen Of Glover,
and addresses patriotic and stirring
were made by other men Interested
in the general welfare, such as Geo.
W. Todd, ESQ.,, Emery Cook, Esq,
&c. The question as to "what is the
duty of the hour? p was answered on
the part of the young men from time
to time, send us" and the mothers
and sisters though they counted the
cost, said "let them go to maintain
the credit of the government estab-
lished by Washington and his COM
patriots.
Among the first to be credited to
this town, we find the names Of AL
mon j. Colburn, Henry FL. CNlburn,
Loren j. Flood and Ireneus Z. Gage.
All these were young men of about
twenty years of age and hey enlisted
together on June first, 1861, in Com
pany B of the Third Regiment. Only
two survived to see the noble cause
they espoused triumphant, viz; Henry
Ii. Colburn who was badly wounded
and Ireneus P. Gage. OF the others,
Almon J. Colburn died in hospital in
| Virginia, Fec. IS, 1864, and Loren J..
Flood was killed in connection with
the battles of the Wilderness May
5th, 1864.
