Bremen town cemetery at Bremen. Me.
TO perpetuate the memory of the late

manded the armed schoOners FRANKLIN
and Hancock and the frgate Boston in
the War of the Revolution by commits
slons from George Washington. The ap-
preparation shall be expended under the
direction of commission to consist Of
said commission to be appointed by the
Governor. The monument shall be cared
for and kept in repair without expense to
the State. Said commission shall COM
Governor and Council on or before Dec.
81. 1910. (Approved March Is, 1907
The committe was duly appointed and
duly attended to its duties and duly re-
ported to the Governor and Council and
the incident was apparently closed-but
some one was unkind enough to discover
that, while Commodore Tucker had been
a sailor. a Naval hero, a statue of SOL
der boy had been erected over his grave
Some laughed, some were provoked and
all hands decided that it must come down.
The Legislature of 1911, accordingly,
was told of the blunder and asked to
right the wrong, which it proceeded to
do as you will see through the following
resolve, which also washes its hands OF
the soldiers statue by presenting it to
the town of Bremen:
"Cha pier 1S2-Resolved, the statue of a
soldier upon the monument erected to the
memory of Commodore Samuel Tucker
under the provisions of Chapter 243 of the
Resolves of 1909 is hereby presented to
the town of Bremen for elsewhere use as
soldiers monument or otherwise as said
town may determine. The sum of $7OO is
hereby appropriated to be expended by
the Governor and Council for the erection
upon said monument of statue which
shall suitably commemorate the services
of Commodore Samuel Tucker. (Ap-
proved March 80 1917"
Thus the story progresses. The ladies
of the good town of Bremen have ever
since been at work raising funds for a
suitable monument upon which the statue
of the soldier boy would stand and tell
the whole world that Bremen was proud
of the men brave and true who went TO
the front in 1861 in defence of liberty.
They have succeeded and a fine monu-
ment has been erected as planned, sur
mounted with the statue mentioned and
which will be dedicated on June II next.
1t will be an occasion of much moment
to that place and surrounding towns and
a great crowd may be expected.

Soldiers Monument
For Town of Bremen

The town of Bremen through the Pa
triotic Society of the place will on Satur-
day, June II. dedicate a handsome SOL
dIers' monument An interesting story is
connected Herewith and to introduce it
what the Damariscotta Herald says about
it will serve. 1t follows:
The Patriotic Society of Bremen, an
association of ladies of that town, will
dedicate a soldiers monument June Il.
The monument is crowned with a
statue of the sea hero now stands
by the State for the Tucker monument.
Time has mercifully dropped veil over
that absurd proposition and portrait
statue of the old sea hero now stands
over his grave. The original mistake
has proved to be a good thing after all.
for the ladies of Bremen have raised
money for a monument and the statue is
exactly the thing to raise over the soldier
dead of Bremen.
AN address will be made by Lieut.
George Rhoades of South Port
land, a Bremen boy and the only one of
four brothers who returned from the
bloody fields of the South. Arthur Rich
ards, who nobly served in the navy, Brad
ford c. Redonnett and Hon. Fl. II. Cham
berlain will also speak. Music will be

The above statement leads up to the
fact that the Legislature of 1909 through
Chapter 243 of the Resolves of that year,
appropriated the sum of $1,000 for a monu-
ment to Commodore Tucker of Revolu-
tionary fame, as follows:
Chapter 243-Resolved, that the sum Of
$1,000 be and hereby is appropriated to be
expended during the year 1909, for the
