sHAYs' MEMORIAL.
Grave of Leader In Rebellion To Be
Marked BY Monument.


Because Daniel Ogden Shays died
in Livingston County, n. Y, the His.
torical society of that county purpos-
es to commemorate his memory by
erecting a monument at Mount Nor
ris. where Shays was buried after
his death in 1925. At present his
grave is marked only by small
stone which was crudely lettered by
blacksmith named Samuel Craig.
SO far as the history of Shays is
concerned its interest is confined
wholly to Massachusetts. He became
a resident of Sparta, n. Y, as refu
gee from the old Bay State after the
failure of a rebellion against the con.
stituted authorities Of that common
wealth, known in history as the
Shays Rebellion He found refuge
in Vermont for about a year before
he moved to New York.
Shays was a revolutionary patriot
and served as a sergeant at the Bat
tie of Bunker Hill. Subsequently he
attained the rank of captain He
was born in Hopkinton, Mass, in
1881 Ii was the same spirit which
led him TO take up arms against King
George that made him participant
in the later rebellion of Massachusetts

Among the grievances OF which the
rebels complained We're the size of

of the Great and General Court" or
Legislature, from Boston
The Legislature vainly sought "a
allay the discomfort by the passage
of laws to diminish costs in the col
lection of debts and to allow back
taxes and debts to be paid in produce.
The rebels would not be placated but,
by force OF arms, hampered court
proceedings in several of the coun-
ties. Shays gathered with force OF
armed men that in December, 1856,
he was able to prevent the session
of courts at Worcester and Spring

place in January, 1887, when Shays

They were pursued by Gen. Lincoln
with a large force and the next day
at Petersham they were dispersed
leaving $50 prisoners in the hands OF
the militia. The greater number of
the leaders found safety in New
Hampshire, but Shays chose Vermont
as his refuge for a time.
A free pardon offered to all who
would lay down their arms was gen.
orally accepted. but Shays did not
seek immunity for some years, when
he petitioned for a pardon that was
granted. He did not return to hts
native state. however, but settled
down in Sparta, n Y.
