THE HISTORY OF A SONG.
''The Vacant Chair" and Its War
time Origin.

From the New England Magazine
Almost every American is familiar with
the song called THE Vacant Chair" though
comparatively few know the name of the
author Of the verses or the circumstances
which gave rise to their composition. A re-
cent writer has given a sketch of Henry
Stevenson Washburn of Boston. who wrote
the words of THE Vacant Chair" and of
Lieut.. John William Grout of the Massa-
chusetts Volunteers whose heroic death
| they conmemorated.
John William Grout was born in Worces-
ter. Mass. in 1S43 son of a well-known and
wealthy manufacturer. From the earliest
age the boy manifested intense love of
things military. and distinguished himself at
the Worcester military academy. where he
studied. At the outbreak of the war his
ability was at once recognized by the au-
thorties and he was commissioned second
lieutenant in company d OF the 18th Massa-
ohUsetts volunteers. He became very pop
ular in the regiment and was in great de-
mand as drillmaster. In the field the young
lieutenant displayed conspicuous GOODNESS
and bravery, but his career unfortun-
ately very brief He lost his life in the dis
astrous engagement which took place in
October 1s6l near Poolsville. Md.
Young Grout was intimate with the fam
lily of Mr.. Washburn, being a warm friend
Of that gentlemans son. and on the
Thanksgiving following the young mans
death Mr. Washburn, sympa thizing with
the family. which would feel its bereave-
Inent doubly at that festival season, was
inspired with some verses. which were af-
terTard published under the ame Of THE
Vacant Chair in the Worcester Spy and
signed II. S. w. These verses met the eye
of Mr.. George f. Root of Chicago who set
them to music without any correspondence
with the author, as the lines We're not
copyrighted. The song appeared as THE
Vacant Chair. words by II. S. W.-Music by
George It. Root" and at once appealed to
the public, selling in enormous numbers.
Mr.. Washburn, who has been a prominent
business man and was for some years in
the House of Representatives, is now
eighty-four years old and lives in a beauti-
full home in the Aberdeen district of Bos-
ton. He has written many pretty ana
touching verses besides THE Vacanl
Chair and not long ago published a vol
ume containing his principal poems.
