PRESIDENT’S REPORT.

B o s t o n , M a s s ., Aug. 31, 1899. To t h e T r u s t e e s o f t h e

S o l d i e r s ’ H o m e i n M assachusetts . Gentlemen : I have the honor to submit my Seventeenth Annual Report, and with it the reports of the several officers of the Home. To these I invite your careful attention as they contain much information that is valuable. You will see by the report of the Superintendent that during the winter months the Home was filled to its utmost capacity, and that the average number present during the year has been three hundred fifty-two against three hundred forty-six the preceding year. It is sad to note that the death rate is also increasing. In 1898 the number of men who died was fifty-four, in 1899 sixty- eight, an increase of fourteen. In the month of August, 1898, I was informed by the Super­ intendent that he received a communication from the Hon. Elihu B. Hayes, Secretary of the Massachusetts Volunteer Aid Association, asking if he could accommodate in the hospital any of the sick soldiers then being sent to Massachusetts from Cuba and Porto Rico. After consultation it was found that we could care for forty, and without calling a meeting of the Board of Trustees, I directed the Superintendent to so inform the Secretary. Thirty- two patients were received and cared for without expense to the United States Government or to the men. I am pleased to say that my action met with the approval of the Board. The improvements that were being made last year, under the direction of our building committee, have been completed. The buildings have been repainted, the lighting plant and laundry machinery increased, and everything in connection with the Home is in first class condition. In the month of December I was informed by telephone that all the officers of the Home, with the exception of the Sergeant Major, were down with la grippe. I at once visited the Home and found that Trustee Eli W. Hall had preceded me. He kindly c remained on duty for more than a week and, with Sergt. Maj. Charles A. Newhall, satisfactorily conducted its affairs until the officers were able to report for duty. I am sure their services are appreciated by the Board. I find nothing to recommend that will require an additional expenditure of money during the coming year, and only urge that the same attention be given to the detail work by the Board that has been in the past. My reports from necessity must be a rep­ etition, but I cannot omit thanking, as far as possible, the many associations that assist us in our work. It is gratifying to know that none, who for the past seventeen years have contributed in so many ways to aid us, have become weary but that all respond with the same generosity as at first. In this connection we should thank Maj. Lucius Slade, Supt. George E. McKay and Maj., Charles G. Davis, through whom the marketmen of Boston gener­ ously respond to our call for Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners. Gettysburg Post No. 191, G.A.B., of Boston, co-operating with our Ladies’ Aid Association, have continued to decorate the grave* of our dead at Forest Dale Cemetery, Malden. Our Ladies’ Aid Association have rendered the same valuable assistance this year as in the past, while the Woman’s Belief Corps have kept the rooms in their charge provided with all that was re­ quired. The Grand Army of the Bepublic, Sons and Daughters of Veterans and many individuals have rendered us valuable as­ sistance. We have also received a large donation of supplies from the Massachusetts Volunteer Aid Association, which is noted in the report of the Superintendent. For all these favors we are grateful and they are appreciated by the Trustees and the men of the Home. The conduct of the men has been excellent. When we realize that there are no punishments inflicted, that we have no guardhouse or “ dump ” where men are required to serve time for drunkenness or disobedience of orders, and that the discharges for cause are few, I feel that we can congratulate ourselves that the men are worthy and deserving of the care they receive. It is very gratifying to note that while the people of our State have welcomed the soldiers who returned from the war with Spain, and cared for their necessities, while they are cheering those who are enlisting for the Philippines, doing all they can for their comfort, the old soldier of ’ 61 is not forgotten. The 7 hearts of the people of Massachusetts, through the Legislature and in all the walks of life, are just as true and loyal to the hoys who wore the blue in the early Sixties as when they first returned from the field crowned with victory. Of all the States in the Union, Massachusetts has led in caring for its volunteers and we feel that our men can esteem it a high honor that while they followed the flag of the Nation during the war of the Rebellion, in their old age they are encamped under the white flag of Massachusetts. The success of the Home has been due to its efficient officers. Captain and Mrs. Creasey have continued to faithfully discharge their duties and have been ably assisted by Adjutant Foster. Our hospital has maintained its high standard under the management of Doctor Starbird, and the non-commissioned officers, many ap­ pointed from the men of the Home, have been faithful in every particular. Under such conditions the duties of the Trustees have been made light, and in your name I assure them that their fidel­ ity is appreciated. To you, my associates, I extend my sincere thanks for the services you have rendered in the various positions that you have been called upon to fill. Our Board has been an harmonious and happy one, and it is a pleasure to serve with a body of men so" in­ terested in the discharge of their duty. Respectfully submitted, A\0\^vvW^ ,

REPORT OF SECRETARY.

B o s t o n , M a s s ., July 10, 1899.

To t h e T r u s t e e s o f t h e S o l d i e r s ’ H o m e i n M assachusetts . Gentlemen: So far as the Board of Trustees is concerned there is but little to report of last year’s doings. The regular meetings of the Board have been well attended and the visitations of the Trustees to the Home have been quite regular. The busi­ ness has been of a routine character and consisted mostly of hearing applications for readmission of men who for some cause had been declared ineligible without the sanction of the Board. A change was made in the make-up of the Board during the year by the resignation of Col. Chas. H. Porter of Quincy, who had been appointed to another position in the service of the Commonwealth. Governor Wolcott appointed Col Arnold A. Rand of Boston to fill the vacancjn The Trustees are indebted to Mrs. Sara Lee White of Brook­ line for an excellent map of the United States, which has been placed in the Home. An invitation was received from the Ladies’ Aid Association to attend its June meeting for a social conference. A number of the Trustees attended. Matters pertaining to the welfare of the Home were freely discussed and assurances were given to the ladies that all they had ever done or were doing for the comfort of the men in the Home was appreciated to the fullest extent by the Board of Trustees. The acting President, in behalf of the Association, pledged anew their devotion and energy, and assured the Trustees that the ladies were ever ready and willing to do anything in their power for the comfort and happiness of the members of the Home. The Department of Massachusetts Woman’s Relief Corps have furnished and dedicated a large dormitory in Sargent Hall, which is to be cared for in future by that organization. This in addition to the rooms which are now cared for by them. The W.R.C. dor­ mitory was dedicated Nov. 9, 1898, with appropriate ceremonies, a number of the trustees being present. The thanks of the Board 9 were tendered the Woman’s Relief Corps by President Adams, who spoke of the large number of rooms that were now cared for by subordinate Corps of that organization. He assured them that their work was appreciated and that the crowning act of their devotion to the Home was in furnishing and caring for the large W.R.C. Dormitory. The generous response to an appeal for fur­ nishings for the Dormitory by the Relief Corps of the State is the best indication of the interest in and loyalty to the Soldiers’ Home by the Department of Massachusetts W.R.C. At the dedication of the Dormitory a splendid marble bust of Gen. Horace Binney Sargent was presented to the Home by the friends of General Sargent. The bust is the work of Comrade Cyrus Cobb of Boston and is an excellent likeness of the founder of the Home and our first President. The presentation was made, on behalf of friends, by your Secretary and accepted by the President. The thorough reports of the Superintendent and Surgeon give valuable information as to the condition of the Home and its inter­ nal workings. The laundry has been considerably enlarged, the electric plant extended and the buildings all painted in accordance with the vote of your Board. The Home was never in better con­ dition than at the present time. The members appear happy and contented, as they feel that everything possible is being done for their comfort and happiness. The reports of the individual Trustee, after his weekly visita­ tion and inspection, are very satisfactory. Whatever suggestion of alteration or improvement has been made has in nearly all cases been complied with. The attendance of the Trustees at the meet­ ings and the interest generally manifested in the welfare and management of the Home is a matter for congratulation. The management of the Home and Hospital receives the commendation of all. I desire to express my appreciation of the valuable assistance rendered me at all times by Superintendent Creasey, Mrs. Creasey, the Matron, Surgeon Starbird and Adjutant Foster. We cannot appreciate too highly the faithful labors of these efficient officers. Respectfully submitted, GEO. S. EVANS, Secretary. 10

MEMBERSHIP. The population of the Home for the year just ended has been greater than at any time since the Home was opened. The mem­ bership has steadily increased from year to year, until on December twenty-nine last our morning report showed four hundred and thirty-three members. The average number present for the year was three hundred and fifty-two men, a permanent increase of ninety-nine members during the past five years. Permit me to call your attention to the importance of a more 45 complete identification of every man who presents himself for admission to the Home. In the past we have been imposed upon by unworthy parties gaining admission who have never seen ser­ vice in either the army or navy during the War of the Rebellion. In the instances alluded to, those who have been so admitted have assumed the name of some worthy soldier and after securing a certificate of service from the Adjutant-General’s office and a rec­ ommendation from the mayor, with one or two aldermen of the city where they reside, they have been admitted and readmitted and the fraud remained undiscovered until the lapse of years, or until after death. The last case of this description is that of Philip Carroll, who, after leaving the Home, burglarized the superintend­ ent’s house and seriously assaulted George M. Tenney, a member of the Home. After the trial and sentence of Carroll, it was dis­ covered that the rightful Philip Carroll of the company and reg­ iment given in the application and certificate of service, was a well-known citizen of Danvers, Mass., where he had continuously resided since the war and was in the receipt of a pension for wounds received in service. Ought we not to oblige every appli­ cant for admission to the Home to be identified as the person who performed the service stated in the declaration ?

HOSPITAL. The hospital is in splendid condition and doing most excellent work. The patients are carefully attended by the surgeon and tenderly cared for by the nurses; indeed everything possible is done for their comfort and improvement. In noting the work of the hospital, neither the tabulated statement given under this head nor the statistics given in the various reports of the surgeon, can show accurately the increased work in this department of the Home, for the reason that as the population of the Home has increased from year to year, and the disabilities of the men as they have grown older have also increased, it has been found necessary to make a more careful discrimination as to what constitutes a hospital patient. In this connection I desire to express my appreciation of the services of Trustee Eli W. Hall, who, when the superintendent, surgeon, adjutant and hospital steward were all confined to their beds at the same time with la grippe, came to our rescue and 46 remained at the Home for more than a week with Sergt.-Maj. Charles A. Newhall, who together successfully conducted the affairs of the Home. the following table shows the work of the hospital since the Home was organized.

IMPROVEMENTS. The improvements during the past year consist in an addition to the laundry building, which gives us ample room for machinery and work. Two new tubs, an additional extractor and a second drying room, much larger than the original, have greatly increased our capacity in this department. The addition of a new engine, dynamo and switch-board, with a capacity for 500 16-candle power incandescent lamps, enables us to more thoroughly light the buildings during the evening, while the smaller dynamo and engine are used for night work, when a less nftmber of lamps are required, and also for lighting outside the buildings. The house occupied by the Adjutant has been wired and is now lighted by electricity. 47 A slat fence has been built during the year on the boundary line of our land near the barn, also one extending from the retain­ ing wall in the rear of Sargent Hall to the end of our land east of the Adjutant’s house. All the buildings belonging to the Home have been painted one coat outside, while most of the interiors of the main buildings have been painted and the ceilings whitened. The flagstaff, which has been in its present position for the past ten years and sub­ jected to unusual strain from its elevated position, has been restepped, sheathed and iron strapped, and is pronounced secure and safe for the next ten years. All the buildings belonging to the Home are in excellent con­ dition ; the severe storms of November 27 and February 14, when the wind reached an unusual velocity and was felt to be more pow­ erful than any we have ever before experienced on the hill, did us practically no damage. It demonstrated that notwithstanding our elevation, our buildings are strong, securely built and in good repair.

MISCELLANEOUS. August 20, Department Commander William H. Bartlett and the Council of Administration of the Grand Army of the Repub­ lic, held their quarterly meeting at the Home. August 27 the Nineteenth Mass. Infantry Association held its annual reunion at the Home. November 9 the Department of Massachusetts Woman’s Relief Corps dedicated the dormitory in Sargent Hall recently furnished by them, Mrs. Sarah E. Fuller, the first President of the Massachusetts Department, delivering the address. Secretary George S. Evans of the Board of Trustees, in behalf of friends, presented to the Home a marble bust of Gen. Horace Binney Sargent by Comrade Darius Cobb. General N. M. Curtis of New York, Assistant Inspector- General of National Home for D.V.S., visited the Home January 31 for the purpose of inspecting the Home and mustering the men. The muster consists in each man present answering to his name, the result of which must compare accurately with the morning report; also, the clothing, neatness and general appearance of the 48 men is noted. The tri-monthly and quarterly reports to General Franklin are also compared with our morning report of the same dates. The Treasurer’s quarterly report and the pension account were verified by the Treasurer’s books. February 19, Mrs. Flo Jamison Miller, National President of the Woman’s Relief Corps, and Mrs. Helen F. Burt of the National Executive Board, with Mrs. L. A. Turner, Past National Presi­ dent, visited the Home. May 2, the Department President of the Woman’s Relief Corps, Mrs. Angie A. Robinson, accompanied by the Senior Vice- President, Mrs. Mary L. Gilman, honored the home by an official visit. May 16, the annual visit of the Military Committee of the State legislature, for the purpose of inspecting the Home. The furloughs and passes for the past year have aggregated 2,726. Our register shows that 5,809 have recorded as visiting the Home proper, while 2,520 visited the Hospital, making a total of 8,329 who have registered. During the year we have been visited by committees and representatives from a large number of the local Relief Corps of the State, who came to look after the rooms they have in charge and to express their desire to contribute to the comfort and pleasure of the members of the Home. The Ladies’ Aid Association connected with the Home have held their meetings at the Home during the Fall and Spring months. Many members have visited the Home during the year, while the committees selected to serve from month to month as visitors have arranged for the Sunday services and many of the entertainments for the men. My thanks are due to the Trustees for their continued cour­ tesy and kindness to Mrs. Creasey and myself, and to the officers of the Home for their earnest and loyal support in the work for the year. Accompanying this is the report of the Surgeon, a descriptive list of the members of the Home on June 30, 1899, and of those admitted during the year; a list of the soldiers of the Spanish- American war admitted to the hospital; also, an inventory of all property belonging to the Home, including the furniture and furnishings of all the various departments, together with all stores on hand at the end of the year.

During the month of August of last year, when the soldiers were returning from the Cuba and Porto Rico campaigns and when those sick in the camps of instruction in the southern States were being transferred to the hospitals in Boston for treatment, we received a communication from Hon. Elihu B. Hayes, secretary of the Massachusetts Volunteer Aid Association, inquiring whether or not we could accommodate in our hospital any of the sick sol­ diers then being sent to Massachusetts. After conferring with the President of the Board of Trustees, I informed the Secretary of the Association that we were ready at any time day or night to receive any number, not exceeding forty. A ward was immediately prepared for their accommodation, an assistant for the Surgeon and such trained female nurses as were required, were engaged, and from September 15 to the 20th thirty-two patients were received. The duration of their stay with us was determined by the Home Surgeon and when discharged, they were directed to report to Maj. William Quinton, U.S. Army at Boston; thirteen of the number were volunteers from Massachusetts and belonged to Massachusetts regiments, while the remainder, with one exception, were from the regular army. The last of the number left the Home November 12. Subsequent to the discharge of one of these soldiers from the hospital and to determine, I presume, the final settlement of his accounts with the U.S. Government, I received a communication from the Assistant Adjutant-General U.S. Army, Department of the East, inquiring whether or not the Home would make a demand upon the U.S. Government for the care of men treated in hospital, to which the reply was made “ That our Home was opened to the returning soldiers at a time when they needed the best care and attention that could be given them ; that compensa- tion was not considered, and I am directed by the President of the Board of Trustees to say that in'no case will a claim be made upon the United States for reimbursement.” 73

SURGEON’S REPORT.

The population of the hospital has not varied materially in numbers from the preceding year, but the number of helpless and hopeless has been greater than in any former year. Many more, being unable to go to the table, have been fed in the wards. It has been more apparent than ever that age and long-standing dis­ ease are producing their legitimate results. It is now thirty-four years since the close of the Civil War. Thirty-four years have been added to the ages of the survivors of that conflict; and we see in the men brought under our care the results of these years in their mental and physical condition. The same number of men require far more care and attention now than in former years, and diseases that have long existed are coming to their natural termination. Diseases may have existed for years and been held in check by a vigorous manhood, which pro­ gress rapidly when the resistance is removed by a lowered vitality. Old age is not always measured by years. Men of sixty or seventy may have more of the characteristics and debility of age, than others at eighty or ninety. Their previous life and habits have a marked effect upon their ability to withstand the inroads of age and disease. As in past years, nearly all the deaths have resulted from ail­ ments of long standing, which, in their nature, are not only incur­ able, but invariably end in death. This .year a much larger number of aged men have passed away than in preceding years. In 1898 there were nine over seventy years of age, and this year there were twenty-two. It will be seen that the average age of those who died was increased from 62.25 years in 1898, to 65.05 years in 1899. It is reasonable to expect that the death rate among this class will increase. As in former years, many are brought to us whose days are numbered and can almost be counted. A few have been so feeble that death was feared before they could be placed in the wards. A very large percentage of the deaths, herewith reported occurred in those who, when admitted to the Home, were too feeble or too far advanced in dis- 80 case to hope for improvement. Paralysis, phthisis pulmonalis, heart disease and old age have claimed the larger portion. It seems somewhat strange, and apparently unkind, for men to be brought here, when even an inexperienced eye can see that death is near. While we willingly receive and care for such, our death rate is thus largely increased, and is wholly out of proportion to our numbers. There is a satisfaction, however, in giving them a modicum of comfort by making their last days as free from suffering as possible. About the middle of December la grippe made its fourth inva­ sion into the Home. Nearly all the officers, and a large number of the inmates, suffered to a greater or less extent. During its continuance there were several deaths which were doubtless hast­ ened by the presence of that disease. Only one case wras followed by pneumonia, while in 1892 there were fifteen. A large percent­ age of those affected by the disease were treated in barracks, not being sufficiently ill to require admission to the hospital. In September the Home was called upon to provide hospital accommodations for as many as possible of the sick soldiers return­ ing from Cuba and Porto Eico. It was both impossible and imprac­ ticable to admit them into our hospital; so to meet this exigency the upper floor of Sargent Hall was put in commission as a hospital, and two wards, each containing twenty beds, were well equipped. Three nurses and a junior physician were employed. Thirty-two men were received and cared for. These were suf­ fering chiefly from malaria and diarrhoea. There overe, however, two severe cases of typhoid fever. All recovered, and wdien in proper condition were discharged. They left the Home expressing their gratification for the care and treatment received. The first were received September 15, and the last left the Home Novem­ ber 12.

ATTENDANTS. Our nursing force remains the same in number, but in place of those reported last year we have Miss Alice M. Mailes and Miss H. L. Mallory as nurses by day, and Miss Eliza F. Spencer by night. I gladly commend their efficiency and constant care of those in their charge. Mr. Leslie having resigned the position of Hospital Steward 81 to attend medical school was succeeded by Mr. C. M. Morse, Ph.Gr. and a registered pharmacist, who assumed the duties Jan. 1, 1899. I took occasion in my last report to commend the services of the men detailed to assist the nurses in the care of the sick. Their duties are arduous and many times very trying. I wish again to record my appreciation of their uncomplaining devotion to the sick and helpless, and the patience and kindness they exhibit in the discharge of their duties. I think I state what is true when I say that at no time has the hospital been in better condition or the men better cared for, than during the last year. Experience leads to many improvements, and constant observation on the part of the Surgeon and his assist­ ants insures a more ready conception of the. condition of the men under their charge, and leads to a more rational treatment. All the employees seem to take more than a perfunctory interest in their work, and exhibit a solicitude for the welfare and comfort of their patients, much to be commended.

GROWTH OF THE HOSPITAL. In July, 1882, when the Home was started, the hospital con­ sisted of one room containing twmnty-four beds. During the fiscal year ending July 25, 1883, one hundred and two men were treated in this room, twenty-three beds being occupied at the end of the year. During the next three years this room, although frequently much too limited, constituted the hospital. In 1886 a new building two stories high was erected, and the old room used for other purposes. This building gave a dormitory on the first floor containing twenty-eight beds, and the second story was divided into twelve rooms capable of containing twenty-six beds, making a capacity of fifty-four beds. The erection of this building gave a new impetus and interest to the work, and the rapidity with which it was occupied gave a clearer idea of what the future would impose on the management of the Home. The demand for hospital accommodation became so imperative in the winter of 1892-3, that a section on the second floor of the main building wras added to the hospital, increasing its capacity by nineteen beds to seventy-three. During this fiscal year 85 two hundred and thirty-two men were treated. Even with this addition the capacity of the hospital was taxed to its utmost. A third story was added to the hospital in 1893, increasing the number of beds by twenty-six to ninety-nine. During the winter of 1895-6 more space was demanded, and a section of the third story of the main building was taken for hospital purposes, increasing the capacity by twenty, to one hundred and nineteen beds. During this year two hundred and eighty-nine men were cared for. In the summer of 1896 rooms were taken for the nurses and for bath­ rooms, thus reducing the number of beds to one hundred and eleven. Even with this capacity there were times in the winter months of 1897-8 and 1898-9 when the hospital accommodations were fully utilized. The number of permanent residents of the hospital has stead­ ily increased. On June 30, 1899, ninety-one beds were occupied, this being nearly double the number occupied June 30, 1890. It is more than probable that a greater number of beds will be required the coming winter. In addition to the number of the helpless admitted to the hospital, almost monthly, the older ones in the barracks are, one by one, reaching the condition when they require hospital attention, and so are admitted and become permanent residents. It is thus easy to see, that the number under the immediate care of the Surgeon must increase with each succeeding year; and the hospi­ tal department of the Home become, accordingly, of more and more importance.

VISITORS. I have again to express my gratitude for the continued inter­ est in the success of the hospital, shown by the members of the Ladies’ Aid Association. They have made regular visits, and sup­ plied each of the upper wards with a “ wall-clock ” which were much needed. Their solicitude for this department of the Home always assumes a material form. We are indebted to W.R. Corps No. 13, through the good offices of Mrs. Eli W. Hall, for twelve dressing gowns; and to W.R. Corps No. 21, through the kind interest of Mrs. A. E. Dolbier, for two dozen chair and other cushions for the comfort of convalescents. After so many years have elapsed since the war, something stronger and deeper than sentiment must stim­ ulate the hearts and hands of these friends of the old veteran, or they would become weary in well doing. The interest of the Trustees in the care of the sick has, during another year, been made manifest by their weekly visita­ tions. Their expressions of sympathy and encouragement, as they pass through the wards, tend to cheer up the helpless and en­ courage those who have them under their immediate care. “ They builded better than they knew ” when they erected this monument to the patriotism and devotion of their comrades in arms. The Home has reason to be especially grateful to Drs. R. E. Brown and S. Crowell of the consulting staff. Their interest in the success of the hospital and the care of the veterans is the more to be commended, owing to the fact that they took no part in the War of the Rebellion. Drs. Wm. R. Chipman, and Arthur J. Shaw the oculist, have promptly answered all demands for their services. In closing this report, I desii'e again to express my apprecia­ tion of the hearty co-operation in the work of the past year manifested by yourself, Mrs. Creasey and Adjutant Foster. A harmonious union of purpose and effort has characterized the labors of all who have had the privilege of caring for those who gave their best years for the saving of the nation. Respectfully submitted, I. W. STARBIRD, Surgeon. To C a p t . G e o r g e W. C r e a s e y , Superintendent. 89
