Since our article some weeks ago re-
garding the meeting of a summer boarder
here and one of our citizens we have since
learned that "Citizen Thomas" as he
called himself is a resident of Brockton,
Mass, and custodian of the safe deposit
vaults of the Plymouth Co. Safe Deposit
& Trust Co. He enlisted in the early part
of the Civil war and after serving his
three months enlisted again, this time for
three years; at the battle of Fredericks
burg he was shot through the right arm
causing the loss of the arm. In conse-
quence OF this he was discharged, but as
soon as his wounds were healed he return
ed to the front as citizen, marching and
camping with his old comrades, and in
time of battle entering the hospitals and
assisting with such aptitude as to receive
special praise from the surgeon in chief
He did this work at his own expense, and
staid at the front until the war closed. In
the meantime ne nau become KuOWH ny
his comrades as ''Citizen Thomas" and by
this name he has since been known. We
notice by the Brockton Daily Enterprise,
that when a reporter for that paper asked
him where he spent his vacation he re-
piled that 1t was happily spent in the
quiet and beautiful village of Barton, VT.
Barton Landing.
