lPreatbent' a 1Report
To THE TRUSTEES OF THE SOLDIERS' HOME IN MASSACHUSETTS. Gentlemen: I herewith submit my Report with the Annual Report of the officers of the Home. There have been four regular and nine special meetings of the Board. The work of the Home increases year by year, and it requires more time to look after its affairs. My visits have been weekly and sometimes two or three times a week. You will find by the Report of the Superintendent of the Home that we have increased in numbers. The highest number in the Home, 513. We were enabled to do so by putting in additional beds in Sargent Hall. The Home is full to its capacity most of the time, and often we have to turn away many an applicant. If a woithy comrade seeks for hospital treatment we shall always try and make room, even if we have to put beds in the corridors for time being. On June 20, Dr. George W. Jones, Surgeon of the Home, was removed by a majority vote of all the Trustees; and the care of the inmates of the hospital devolved on our Assistant Surgeon, Dr. Philip C. Means, who has performed his duties satisfactorily to the officers of the Home, and with the assistance of an efficient assistant, I think the work can be carried on successfully. Your Executive Committee have had the work well in hand, and I am happy to state that, while our numbers have increased materially, the expense per capita has not. Of course, as the years go by, the cost of maintenance must increase on account of civilian help being employed, for the inmates are getting too old to perform much labor. We have been working on plans for a new hospital most of the year, and I am happy to state that we have selected plans, and they have been approved by the Governor and Council, that will- accommodate 170 or more patients; and ere this Report reaches the hands of the printer work will have been commenced on the new building. At our last Annual 6
Meeting the resignation of Superintendent Charles D. Nash was accepted and the position temporarily filled by the election of R. R. Foster, the Adjutant, as Acting Superintendent; and on November 7 you elected Col. Charles E. Hapgood, Superintendent, and he assumed his duties the latter part of December, and since then the affairs of the Home have progressed satisfactorily to your Executive Com mittee. The officers of the Home are doing all in their power, with the assistance of their helpers, to make the Home what it should be, a place where the unfortunate ones of our country's defenders, who have no one to properly take care of them, can come and spend their last days in peace and quietness. Our Home Lot in Forest Dale Cemetery was nearly filled up and your Executive Committee felt called upon to bring to your attention the purchase of additional space. We found a lot adjoining, con taining 8,636 square feet, which was purchased at an expense of $8,636, with perpetual care. It is very gratifying to call your atten tion to the fact that the deaths in the Home have not been so many as in the previous year. Number died during year 1907 94 Number died during year 1906 99 If you will examine closely the Report, you will find a great many still come to the Home to die. l\Iany are inmates of the Home but a short time before they have to answer the last roll-call. Once more have the market men of Boston come to our assistance and helped to provide for Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners, for which we should ever feel grateful. Number in Home, June 30, 1906 ...... 458 Number in Home, June 30, 1907 ...... 513 Once more we are called to extend our heartfelt thanks to the Ladies' Aid Association, Woman's Relief Corps and Sons and Daugh ters of Veterans, who have been of great assistance to us in caring for the needy veterans. In a short time much of this work will fall to the Sons of Veterans, and it is gratifying to find that they are willing and ready to assist in the noble work we are engaged in. Two grand and noble workers of the Ladies' Aid Society con nected with the Home have been called to pass on to the other side 7 to meet those gone on before, Mrs. Lizabeth A. Turner and Mrs. Micah Dyer. They had both been interested in the Home from its foundation and given much of strength and time to help us in our work. Of the two, I think, Mrs. Turner seemed nearer to the boys, as she was always known as "Our Lizbeth." We sincerely hope that there is some one in the Ladies' Aid, Woman's Relief Corps or Daughters of Veterans who will take up the work that these two noble women have laid down and carry it on as long as there is a needy veteran to be cared for. Memorial Day was observed as usual at Forest Dale Cemetery in the afternoon of May 30. Many of the men of the Home were able to be present and join with Post 191 in scattering flowers and placing a flag at the grave of each departed comrade. We have now 409 graves in Forest Dale Cemetery. Post 191, as has been the custom for many years, had their Memorial Day exercises at the Soldiers' Home Lot. On Sunday morning, April 28, I was called up by telephone and informed that" there was a fire in the Home, but thought they had it under controL" I took cars immediately for Chelsea to find out more definitely the extent of fire. I would call your attention to the Superintendent's Report for an account of the fire, the conduct of the men and the action of the Board of Trustees. Since then we have added 100 carriers and eight fire-escape chutes, as it became evident that something must be done at once in case of fire. We have added a dish-washing machine during the year, which proves of great assistance. We shall soon need more accommodation for nurses, also more room for drying in the laundry. Some weeks we have nearly 9,000 pieces, and the number must increase rather than decrease. Let us take up the work God has given us to do, to care for the unfortunate of our country's heroes, and with renewed zeal press on and do the work with cheerful hearts. Respectfully yours, PETER D. SMITH, President. 8

The demand upon the Home for admission far exceeds its capacity, and will increase year by year as the present applicants are older in years, more feeble in health, and less able to maintain themselves. The completion of the hospital, now under process of construction, will greatly relieve the present congestion. The personal conduct and discipline of the members has never been excelled. They are free to go and come during the day, pro vided they do their prescribed share of the ordinary work of keeping their quarters in order. A good number of the members are church going people, and take much interest in and are regular attendants of all religious services. There are few violations of the rules, and very few are punished for infractions; the most common offences being absent without leave and drunkenness, and the number of offences of this kind committed during the year has been less than that of previous years. The fact that most offences are of a minor character and result more from weakness of age rather than from viciousness is a striking commentary on the high character of the veterans.
PENSIONS Pensions in full are drawn by members, no part of which is taken for support of the Home.
BUILDINGS The buildings generally are in fair condition and their sightly location makes them a conspicuous landmark of all surrounding country. The grounds are naturally attractive, enhanced by beau tiful surroundings, and their high location provides good natural drainage and dry, healthful atmosphere.

LIBRARY A well-stocked library is maintained for t he benefit of members, additions being received almost daily from the Ladies' Aid Association and Woman's Relief Corps of the state, who also with many others provide numerous entertainments in Peter Smith Hall for the members.
MAINTENANCE
The increase in the cost of maintenance in some branches is due to the continued rise in prices of supplies required by the Home, also increasing infirmities of the members, due to old age, necessitating an increased expenditure for their food. There are no longer a sufficient number of members able to per form the duties of helpers, waiters and attendants, and civilians for this class of work must be employed and maintained by the Home. Civilians are also required for clerical work and in the various trades where formerly members were employed, who received com paratively small wages. In the matter of subsistence no complaints have come to the ears of the officers. The food is ample, of good quality, and well cooked and served in sanitary kitchen and mess rooms. The Home has not been visited during the year by any epidemic or contagious disease, and it is a matter of congratulation that not withstanding the advanced age and increased number of members, the number of deaths is less than that of the previous year. The Surgeon and Assistants stand high in their professions, and the nurses are reported as competent and attentive to their duties. The year has been an active one along the line of repairs and improvements, which will greatly add to the pleasure and cOII}fort of the members. The usual Thanksgiving and Christmas festivities were partici- , pated in, and fully enjoyed by all. Feb. 12, 1907, the Legislative Committee called, and after an in spection of buildings and grounds had lunch served. February 19, Commander-in-Chief Brown and Staff, accompanied by Trustee John W. Hersey, called and addressed the members assembled in Peter Smith Hall , which was greatly appreciated and 50 enthusiastically received, as evidenced by their undivided attention and subsequent remarks. April 17, the Home was honored by a visit from Governor Guild and the Honorable Council, viho came to inspect the ground for a suitable lo cation for the new hospital. The Governor afterwards addressed the men in a pleasing and eloquent manner. On April 28 a slight fire broke out at 8.50 A.M. in the main smoking-room, but was extinguished by the men of the Home, whose conduct throughout was calm and collected; and on May "20 the following letter was authorized by the Board of Trustees at a special meeting: "Ordered, that the Seoretary be instructerl to write a letter to Superintendent Hapgood conveying the thanks of this Board to the following named employees and men of the I-lome for meritorious services rendered in connection with the fire in smoking-room, Sunday, Apl~il 28, 1907: "George Roby, chief engineer; Bernie Laughlin, assistant engineer; Edward W. Abbott, sergeant of smoking-room; John W. Smith, ser geant's helper; Frank A. Barton, janitor of Peter Smith Hall; George W. Norris, who served at water valve; J. Frank Chase, who turned in the alarm; Henry W. Jewett and laundry detail. "It was also voted that the commendation of the Board be ex tended to the inmates of the Home for their soldierly conduct during progress of the fire and excitement following thereafter." Oct. 15, 1906, and May 12, 1907, Gen. N. M. Curtis, Inspector General of the National Homes for Disabled Volunteers, visited the Home for annual muster and inspection. May 24, forty-three men, in charge of Sergt. J. H. B. Kent, attended the funeral services of Montgomery Gipson, whose loss is keenly felt by all, he having conducted a Bible class throughout the year in an efficient manner, receiving t.he attention of all at each service, always leaving a feeling of contentment among the men. • May 26, Memorial Sunday was observed by seventy-five men of the Home, whose appearance and bearing were highly commended by all. May 25, the Home was presented. with a NationaJ flag by members of the Ladies' Aid Association, also the State flag, by a comrade who desires his name withheld; music being furnished for the occasion by Col. Wm. M. Olin's G.A.R Glee Club. 51
May 30, one hundred and seventy-five men of the Home attended the usual services at the Home Lot in Forest Dale Cemetery, Malden; being joined at the cemetery by members of G.A.R. Post 191, to whom I extend the thanks of the Home for their services. May 25, consecration of the Cemetery Lot at Forest Dale was conducted by Father Henry T. Grady of St. Rose Catholic Church, Chelsea. June 11, a satisfactory test of a canvas chute for fire escape was conducted, and at a later meeting of the Board, eight of these, also 100 extra carriers for hospital use, were ordered and placed in position for future use, should occasion demand. October 8, the new elevator was run for the first time and has proved invaluable. I desire to extend my thanks to all the officers and employees of the Home for their interest in the management and for efficient services rendered the past year, also to the Board of Trustees for their courteous treatment and hearty co-operation extended at all times. The average cost of maintaining the Home per capita per annum has been $232.68. The average cost of subsistence per diem is $0.200l. Herewith is forwarded the report of the Surgeon, together with descriptive lists of all members of the Home for the year ending June 30, 1907. Respectfully submitted, CHAS. E.

The close of the year shows an increase in membership over last year of seven. We are using every available bed at all times. Even those who go out for a week, with the certainty of being in the hospital on their return, are deprived of their .beds for some sick comrade. This has never before been necessary since the hospital attained its present size; also as heretofore, many needing hospital care must be left in the barr~cks for lack of hospital beds. A larger number than ever before were admitted directly into the hospital on coming to the Home, 75 per cent of all hospital admissions being ot this class, while of the 90 deaths, 72 per cent came directly from their homes. Many of these came as a last resort, and because ' their families or friends realized the need of hospital care with the con stant presence of a physician and trained attendants. Twenty-five of these died within thirty days of admission. This change in character of our patients adds to the nu;rnber of bedridden men and demands more care and a larger corps of attend- 56 ants. The work has, hbwever, been cheerfully done by the Home mempers, none knowing when he may need the same care from his fellows. Though handicapped by lack of room and inability to properly segregate our cases, we have so far been able to give some measure of care and comfort,to all who came needing hospital treatment. But the time has come when we have reached our limit, and when the more sickly season comes I fear we must have more beds or turn away many we would gladly treat. Then, too, it is almost impossible to serve our long wards and have food in proper condition when it reaches the bedside, demanding constant vigilance of nurses and attendants to secure the best possible results. Ventilation is not satisfactory, and during the winter months, when windows must be closed, the defect is most noticeable on the comfort and general health of the patients. Thus it will be seen how greatly we need and shall appreciate the promised relief of a new hospital building. I can truthfully say that the health of the Home has been good during the year. All but a few of our men are well advanced in years. The fact that they have lived to their present age speaks well tor their constitutions. When they do come into the hospital it is usually in the late stages of chronic disease incident to advanced life. We are then able to alleviate, if not cure, their disabilities. Some few we have been able to cure during the year, who came with the expecta tion of themselves and friends of an early death. Food·in the Home and hOE1pital has been very satisfactory during the year. It is never lacking in quantity, is of excellent quality and served in as satisfactory a manner as our limited facilities will permit. Special diet, including anything necessary, is always procurable on the order of the Surgeon. The convalescent table provided the annexed bill of fare for the last week in June, which is a fair sample of the year. By reference to the tables it will be seen that of the ninety deaths in the hospital during the year, seven were veterans of the war with Spain, two between 25 and 30 years, three between 30 and 40, and two between 40 and 50. The remaining eighty-three were Civil War veterans, of which four were between 50 and 60; forty-one between 60 and 70; thirty-three between 70 and 80; and four between 80 and 57 90. The average age at death was 66.47 years; of the Spanish War veterans 35 years, and of the Civil War veterans 69 years. Causes of death were: twenty~three from Heart Disease, eleven from Apoplexy, eight from Paralysis, seven from Cancer, six from Nephritis, four from Pneumonia, three from Senile Decay, three from Chronic Diarrhcea, two each from Dementia, Septicremia and Suicide; one each from Epilepsy, Sunstroke, Gastric Ulcer, Dia betes, Cystitis, Gangrene, Pyelonephritis, Pernicious Anremia and Carbuncle. The staff of the hospital has remained unchanged during the year, as also the corps of nurses. George W. Jones has been the Surgeon, while I have been his assistant. Howard A. Cutter, who has been hospital steward for six years, continues in that position. He is of much value to the Home outside the limits of his position. Our nurses are as follows: Mrs. L. A. Avery, H ead Nurse; Miss Clara Herrick, Miss L. B. Merriman, Miss Zilla Baker, Miss J. B. Ritten house, Miss E. "M. Dillingham, Miss Ida Hutzel. As our wards came to demand more care, the Superintendent was asked for another nurse to supply during the regular absence of each nurse. This was approved by the Trustees, and Miss Florence Brooks, whose ability was known from previous work here, was engaged and has continued in that position. The difficulty in obtaining enough workers for the wards among the members of the Home, mentioned in the last report, was re~edied early in the year by supplying civilian attendants on one floor for the night work. This has proved very satisfactory and we have found little difficulty in securing careful and efficient helpers for the work. The members of the consulting staff have been quick to respond to requests for aid and counsel, and the laboratories· of Harvard Medical School have been of great help on many occasions. The President and members of the Board of Trustees have made frequent visits to the hospital, and their interest and encouragement . is much appreciated. The visits of the members of the Ladies' Aid Association, the Woman's Relief Corps, the Sons and Daughters of Veterans and the Ladies. of thd G.A.R. have been much appreciated by the men and the staff. Those having rooms to provide for have shown a willingness 58· to do anything possible and have furnished abund~nt supplies when asked. I wish to thank you for your interest and help in this department, as also that of your staff. I trust that its present condition may merit your approval. Respectfully, PHILIP C.
