·Chamberlain Association of America THE ·CHAMBERLAIN ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA REPORT OF ANNUAL MEETINGS HELD IN BOSTON, MASSA­ CHUSETTS, IN 1908, 1909 AND 1910 WITH MEMORIAL SKETCHES OF MEMBERS OF THE ASSOCIATION FOUR GENERATIONS OF THE DESCENDANTS OF WILLIAM CHAMBER­ LAIN OF WOBURN AND BILLERICA, MASSACHUSETTS, AND OTHER PAPERS CONCERNING THE CHAMBERLAIN FAMILY PORTLAND, MAINE SMITH & SALE, PRINTERS 1911 MR. RICHARD H. CHA~IFlERLAJ:-; CHAMBERLAIN ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA ANNUAL MEETING OF 1908 THE scene of the annual gathering of 1908, the eleventh, was again the Parker House, Boston. The Executive Committee met at ten o'clock. At noon the President of the Association, General Joshua L. Chamberlain, held a reception; and later the company adjourned to the Crystal Dining Room for luncheon. After the good things provided by "mine host" had been discussed and secluded, the President introduced Rev. E. E. Strong, D. D., who spoke briefly of the life-work of Rev. Dr. Jacob Chamberlain, physician, explorer, scholar, and preacher. Jacob Chamberlain went in 1859, to India, where he labored as a missionary for nearly fifty years. Being able to speak in several of the native dialects, he was equipped for work of wide extent, which included a revision of the· Bible in the Telugu language. He was the father of Jacob Chester Chamberlain, who died some two years ago. At the conclusion of Dr. Strong's address, the President spoke of the absence from the meeting of General Samuel E. Chamberlain, who is ill at his home in Barre. This is the first annual meeting of the Association from which he has been absent. On motion, a telegram of sympathy was sent to him. Following this came an interesting speech by Mr. J. H. Walling, whose mother was a Chamberlain. He has but recently joined the Association, but evinced all the enthusiasm of a veteran. He read a paper prepared by his father, which gave a sketch of the life of his grandfather Chamberlain. Eugene Chamberlin of New York, began a picturesque and eloquent address with the dictum: "As by the grace of Providence we meet again, each one present should offer something in honor of the name we bear." He was proud of his name and of his descent, for it was becoming more and more of an honor to trace descent from a grandfather who was born in this country. In the great city of New York with its millions of people, there were barely eighty thousand whose fathers were natives of this land. One of his ancestors, John by name, was scourged nine times because he would not forego his faith, and another, William of Connecticut, proved his virility by raising so many children they were never counted. The speaker's great grandfather was one of the party who helped Washington cross the Delaware. His father served through the Civil War in the 25th Ohio. He finished his address with an eloquent tribute to the strong sterling qualities of the men who had borne the name of Chamberlain. Mr. Kendall extended an invitation to the members to visit his home at 4 CHAMBERLAIN ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA Holden on the morrow. "The calf has not fatted worth a cent, but two young pigs have offered themselves, and we hope that all of you will try their flavor." Mr. George W. Adams of Dorchester, was proud of the sweet-natured little woman who had been by his side for forty-three years, and who had made him feel it an honor to be a member of this Association. Vice President Emerson Chamberlin was next called upon. He thanked the assemblage for conferring upon him the honor of his election, and expressed his pride in being connected with a family which had produced so many strong, purposeful men and women. His descendants would be proud of the honor. Mrs. Austin sang several songs, and Dr. George M. Chamberlin of Chicago, and Dr. George M. Chamberlain of Brookline, added their quota of speechmaking. Miss Jessie Chamberlin of Texas, gave an interesting sketch of a four years' tour through Europe and Egypt. In Germany she happened upon a Chamberlain who was a scholar of note, his specialty being history. Hon. Milton Reed said he was a stranger within our gates, a trespasser, who had been helped over the fence by his old friend, Dr. George M. Cham­ berlin of Chicago. His witty sallies brought hearty applause. After Miss Ella Chamberlin had delighted the assemblage with music, the business of the Association was disposed of,-chiefly matters of routine and the election of officers for the year. The Association adjourned. MONTAGUE CHAMBERLAIN, .Recording Secretary. SOCIAL GATHERINGS OF 1908 Tms year we followed the advice of our President to be social, and after the annual meeting most of the members adjourned in the evening to the home of the Misses Chamberlain on Exeter Park, in Cambridge, for an informal reception and social time, with vocal and instrumental music inter­ spersed. Miss Alice M. Raymond opened with a brilliant piano solo; two of our well-known members, Mrs. M. E. Austin and Miss Jessie Chamberlin, favored us with sweet old-time songs; and after refreshments, Miss Ella Chamberlin delighted all with her wonderful bird-like warblings. All were much pleased because the President, Gen. Joshua L. Chamberlain, and his daughter, Mrs. Allen, were able to be present. The next day found a large and merry party ready for the delightful trolley ride from Park Square, Boston, to Worcester and Paradise Hill, Holden, where they w_ere met by members of the Kendall family with carriages and automobiles to take them up the hill to the family home. Tables were set on the spacious lawn in the rear of the house, in the form of a square. With appetites sharpened by the long ride, all were ready to do justice to the bountiful dinner. The vegetables ,;c,nIER HO:IIE OF :IIR. _.\);I) :IIR,-C. J. H. KE);!HLL ANNUAL MEETING OF 1908 5 and the fruits were the products of the farm, and were most deliciously cooked, and served to the enjoyment of all. Appetites being appeased, Mr. James Kendall asked Dr. George M. Chamberlin of Chicago, to take charge of the program. Judge Wm. T. Forbes of Worcester, referred to the severe illness of General Robert Chamberlain, and of Gen. S. E. Chamberlain, and moved that an expression of sympathy be sent to them, which motion was unanimously carried. Dr. E. E. Strong and Mr. James H. Walling of Brooklyn, N. Y., made a few brief remarks. Mrs. Anna E. Smiley read an interesting letter and poem from Mrs. Jane Moore of Ohio, one of our members. Dr. George M. Chamberlin indulged in a few facetious remarks, and introduced his old­ time friend and fellow-traveller, Hon. Milton Reed of Fall River, Mass., who entertained the company with witty anecdotes and brilliant remarks, produc­ ing much merriment. After these pleasantries, it was voted to adjourn to a pine grove, called the "Pine Parlor", where Mr. and Mrs. James H. Walling of Brooklyn, N. Y., received the congratulations of the members on the twenty-sixth anniversary of their marriage. Mrs. Walling's maiden name being Pine, the guests, in appreciation of his great admiration for the Pine family, decked themselves with a sprig from the trees, and formed in line to greet them. Later Mr. Kendall, Senior, conducted the party over the estate and showed the points of interest. His robust form and the healthful glow on his face spoke well for the climate of Paradise Hill, and you will not be sur­ prised to hear that Mr. and Mrs. George B. Caswell have decided to build them a home there. All too soon the setting sun warned the party that it was time to bid good-by to Paradise Hill. All seemed to feel that the day had been a red-letter day in the history of the society; and with many kindly wishes and adieus, they turned their faces homeward, only regretting that all of our members could not have been there to enjoy the beautifu1 scenery, and the hospitality offered on this occasion. A. M. C. REPORT OF THE CORRESPONDING SECRETARY THE eleventh annual meeting finds us assembled again in the Parker House, which has now become almost a Boston home for this organization. Our Report has been so recently issued, and our Recording Secretary has given so full an account of the meeting last year that I will only refer to two or three items. We enjoyed the pleasure of having invited guests with us, which added to the interest of the occasion. One family represented three genera­ tions of the name of Chamberlin, from sweet sixteen to over eighty years of age. We refer to the twin brothers, Hon. Albert and Augustus Chamberlin of North Abington, Mass., and their descendants. Miss Lila A. Chamberlin, the granddaughter, favored us with music. We have added twenty-three names to our membership, so we are verg­ ing toward four hundred names on our record book. Only three deaths have 6 CHAMBERLAIN ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA been recorded the past year, but we have lost our Honorary Life Member, Rev. Jacob Chamberlain of India, who died with the harness on. Although partially paralyzed, he continued working on his Telugu Bible Dictionary, hoping to complete it during his life-time. After the death of the venerable Dr. Paton, it was stated that Dr. Chamberlain, with his forty-seven years of· service, had the longest record of any living missionary in the foreign field. He had a varied experi~nce as a physician as well as a missionary.

  • Excavating the Wolastoqiyik Language
    1 (Submitted to Wulustuk Times, January 2012) EXCAVATING THE WOLASTOQIYIK LANGUAGE Mareshites, Marasheete, Malecite, Amalecite, Malecetes, Ma'lesit, Maleshite, Malicetes, Malisit, Maleschite and many more spellings. So many variations of one name. The Maliseets, as we refer to them today, never called themselves by that name before the white man came here. It was assigned to them by others. The first recording of the name was by Gov. Villebon at Fort Naxouat (Nashwaak) in a letter to Monsieur Jean- 2 Baptiste de Lagny (France's intendant of Commerce), Sept 2, 1694 in which he describes their territory: The Malicites begin at the river St. John, and inland as far as la Riviere du Loup, and along the sea shore, occupying Pesmonquadis, Majais, les Monts Deserts and Pentagoet, and all the rivers along the coast. At Pentagoe't, among the Malicites, are many of the Kennebec Indians. Taxous [aka Moxus] was the principal chief of the river Kinibeguy, but having married a woman of Pentagoet, he settled there with her relations. As to Matakando he is a Malicite. [Madockawando was an adopted brother of Moxus. In 1694 he was Chief on the Wolastoq] Over the years there have been various explanations of the proper spelling and origin of this word. Vincent Erickson wrote in the "Handbook of North American Indians" that the name Maliseet "appears to have been given by the neighboring Micmac to whom the Maliseet language sounded like faulty Micmac; the word 'Maliseet' may be glossed 'lazy, poor or bad speakers.' " Similarly Montague Chamberlain, in his Maliseet Vocabulary published in 1899, suggested that it was derived from the Micmac name Malisit, "broken talkers"; John Tanner in 1830 gives the form as Mahnesheets, meaning "slow tongues" and states he was given that name by a "native."

University of North Carolina Press, $29.95 ISBN 9781469638577 The conclusion of the Centenary of World War I may be the appropriate moment to re-visit America’s forerunner to modern siege warfare, the ten-month Richmond-Petersburg campaign which all but concluded the agonizingly long struggle in the eastern theater. Just as the Western Front in France eventually cracked, opening the way to the Armistice, so too did Robert E. Lee’s determined stand for the Confederate capital, thus leading to the Appomattox solution. In a comprehensive, labor of love based on encyclopedic knowledge of men and events, long-time Petersburg authority A.

  • General AP Hill at Gettysburg
    Papers of the 2017 Gettysburg National Park Seminar General A.P. Hill at Gettysburg: A Study of Character and Command Matt Atkinson If not A. P. Hill, then who? May 2, 1863, Orange Plank Road, Chancellorsville, Virginia – In the darkness of the Wilderness, victory or defeat hung in the balance. The redoubtable man himself, Stonewall Jackson, had ridden out in front of his most advanced infantry line to reconnoiter the Federal position and was now returning with his staff. Nervous North Carolinians started to fire at the noises of the approaching horses. Voices cry out from the darkness, “Cease firing, you are firing into your own men!” “Who gave that order?” a muffled voice in the distance is heard to say. “It’s a lie! Pour it into them, boys!” Like chain lightning, a sudden volley of musketry flashes through the woods and the aftermath reveals Jackson struck by three bullets.1 Caught in the tempest also is one of Jackson’s division commanders, A. P. Hill. The two men had feuded for months but all that was forgotten as Hill rode to see about his commander’s welfare. “I have been trying to make the men cease firing,” said Hill as he dismounted. “Is the wound painful?” “Very painful, my arm is broken,” replied Jackson. Hill delicately removed Jackson’s gauntlets and then unhooked his sabre and sword belt. Hill then sat down on the ground and cradled Jackson’s head in his lap as he and an aide cut through the commander’s clothing to examine the wounds.

  • A Discussion of a Resolution to Rename E. Jubal Drive and W
    City of Winchester COUNCIL ACTION MEMO ☐ Resolution ☐ Ordinance ☒ Discussion To: Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council From: Timothy Youmans, Planning Director Subject: A DISCUSSION OF A RESOLUTION TO RENAME E. JUBAL DRIVE AND W. JUBAL EARLY DRIVE Meeting: City Council Work Session - Jun 23 2020 THE ISSUE: The City has received citizen requests to rename city roadways bearing the name of Confederate General Jubal Early who was an outspoken proponent of White Supremacy and promoter of the Lost Cause until his death in 1894. A list of possible alternative names has been created for City Council to consider. Winchester City resident Vanessa Santiago has recommended Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Drive. Frederick County resident Brian Walls recommended the name James Pierson Beckwourth. Keven Walker has recommended the name Thomas Laws. STRATEGIC PLAN: Goal IV: Improve City services and advance the strategic plan goals by promoting a culture of transparency, efficiency, and innovation BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The roadway that currently bears the name Jubal Early Drive (both E. Jubal Early and W. Jubal Early) was originally identified as ‘Southern Loop’ in old VDOT/VDH plans and the City’s Comprehensive Plan. It was called this because it “looped” around the south side of the old City limits back before the 1970 annexation. The roadway was built in a number of phases. Phase 1 was built in conjunction with Apple Blossom Mall in the early 1980s and was named Apple Blossom Drive. It extended from down in front of Perkins west to where the S. Pleasant Valley Rd intersection is today. It created a triangular network of roadway bounded by a two-way section of Millwood Ave, a one-way westbound section of Millwood Ave, and the new 4-lane divided stretch of Apple Blossom Drive.

As result among Harvard alumni, Union military losses were 10% compared with a 21% casualty rate for the Confederate Army. The battle of Gettysburg (PA) had the highest amount of Harvard alumni serving in the Union Army who were killed in action (i.e. 11), in addition 3 Harvard alumni Confederates also died in this battle. Secondly, seven Crimson warriors made the supreme sacrifice for the Union at Antietam (MD) with 5 more were killed in the battles of Cedar Mountain (VA) and Fredericksburg (VA). As expected, most of the Harvard alumni who died in the service of the Union were born and raised in the Northeastern states (e.g. 74% from Massachusetts). However, 9 Harvard alumni Union casualties were from the Mid West including one from the border state of Missouri. None of these Harvard men were from southern states.

  • Did Meade Begin a Counteroffensive After Pickett's Charge?
    Did Meade Begin a Counteroffensive after Pickett’s Charge? Troy D. Harman When examining the strategy of Union Major General George Gordon Meade at the battle of Gettysburg, one discovers lingering doubts about his leadership and will to fight. His rivals viewed him as a timid commander who would not have engaged at Gettysburg had not his peers corralled him into it. On the first day of the battle, for instance, it was Major General John Fulton Reynolds who entangled the left wing of the federal army thirty miles north of its original defensive position at Westminster, Maryland. Under the circumstances, Meade scrambled to rush the rest of his army to the developing battlefield. And on the second day, Major General Daniel Sickles advanced part of his Union 3rd Corps several hundred yards ahead of the designated position on the army’s left, and forced Meade to over-commit forces there to save the situation. In both instances the Union army prevailed, while the Confederate high command struggled to adjust to uncharacteristically aggressive Union moves. However, it would appear that both outcomes were the result of actions initiated by someone other than Meade, who seemed to react well enough. Frustrating to Meade must have been that these same two outcomes could have been viewed in a way more favorable to the commanding general. For example, both Reynolds and Sickles were dependent on Meade to follow through with their bold moves. Though Reynolds committed 25,000 Union infantry to fight at Gettysburg, it was Meade who authorized his advance into south-central Pennsylvania.

While the iron secrecy surrounding the conversation between the two dignitaries allowed for all kinds of speculation, the image of President Trump bowing to his Russian counterpart (indeed a treasure trove for semioticians), along with his declarations in the post-summit press conference, became, for many obser- vers in the U.S. and across the world, living proof of Mr. Trump´s subservient allegiance to Mr. Putin and his obscure designs. Even some of the most recalcitrant members of the GOP vented quite publicly their disgust at the sight of a president paying evident homage to the archenemy of the United States, as Vercingetorix kneeled down before Julius Cesar in recognition of the Gaul´s 1.
