To t h e T r u stee s of the Soldiers’ Home in Massachusetts. Gentlemen: — I have the honor to submit my thirteenth annual report, and with it the reports of the several officers of the Home. For the fifth time we are called upon to mourn the death of one of the members of our Board. James F. Meech died April 30, 1895. He had been associated with us since the Home was estab lished and was one of our most active and useful members. For many years he was Secretary of the Board and in the early days of our organization rendered us valuable assistance. As Secretary of our first Carnival, under the leadership of Gen. Horace Binney Sargent, he was untiring in his labors for the Home. Since that time he has served on our most important committees; being gifted with fine mechanical ability, his work on our building com mittee was invaluable. In my many years’ connection with the Grand Army of the Republic I have never met one more devoted to the interests of his comrades. No sacrifice was too great for him to make that he might benefit others. For more than fifteen years he was my nearest and dearest friend. As Assistant Adju tant-General while I was Commander of the Department of Massa chusetts, later as Adjutant-General during the year I Was Com- mander-in-Chief, and in every position, he discharged his duties with marked ability and with satisfaction to his comrades. Let us who remain try in every possible way to emulate his virtues, 6 remembering his unselfishness, and as one after another of our members are taken, let us devote ourselves more earnestly to the work they loved. In my last annual report I called your attention to the necessity of increased accommodations and recommended that a building be erected on the opposite side of the street. I am pleased to say that my recommendation was adopted and the building is now nearly complete. Experience had shown us that it was not wise to erect more wooden buildings, and therefore we have constructed a brick building 120 feet long by 40 feet wide; it is three stories high on front and four stories in the rear, and we believe it will be as near fire-proof as is possible. This building will be named Gen. Horace Binney Sargent Hall, in honor of the first President of our Board. Its erection will give us additional hospital accommodations in the old building, which we have required for years. When we made the last addition to the Home we felt we should not be called upon to do more, but we find that every winter we have more applicants than we can accommodate, and the age of the veterans, and increased disability, are such that we believe for the next ten years more will apply for admission than before. The large expenditure required for the new building has troubled us, but our needs were so great that we felt it must be erected. As in every instance since our work began, God has given us friends to help us in our emergencies. By will of Moses Wildes, 2d, of Cambridge, we shall receive the coming year $13,000. This, with the money we have on hand, will pay for the building. As our Ladies’ Aid Association and Woman’s Belief Corps, with other patriotic people, have come forward in previous years and furnished our rooms, we have faith to believe that they will again respond to our needs and that we shall not have to call upon the State for any assistance except the maintenance of the men. As you will note by the report of the Superintendent, we do not have such constant going and coming as in previous years and our membership has become nearly permanent. I respectfully call your attention to the recommendation of the Superintendent, that a permanent surgeon be employed at the Home. In this I heartily concur and believe we should take 7 immediate steps to procure a man suitable to take charge of our hospital, I feel that the Home in every department is in the most satisfactory condition and reflects great credit upon the Superin tendent and the Matron, as well as the Surgeon and other subordi nate officers. The same kind assistance has been rendered us as in former years. Our Ladies’ Aid Association has been active and earnest, and has given that tender care to our men that only women can give. The Woman’s Relief Corps has continued to care for the rooms and has frequently entertained the men. The interest of the Grand Army of the Republic has remained unabated; the Sons of Veterans and other associations have also assisted in many ways. Eor the thirteenth time I am pleased to acknowledge the obligation we are under to Maj. Lucius Slade, Supt. George E. McKay and Maj. Charles G. Davis for their kindness in soliciting from the marketmen of Boston the Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners. The response last year to their request was greater than ever before and our men were bountifully supplied upon both occasions. When we realize how many calls are made upon the marketmen at such times, we cannot too highly appre ciate their kindness, and in the name of the Trustees and the men of the Home I extend our sincere thanks. Also to Gettysburg Post No. 191, G.A.R., of Boston, who co-operated with our Ladies’ Aid Association in decorating the graves of our dead. I again return thanks to you, my associates, for the support you have given me and for the able manner in which you have dis charged your duties upon the various committees, especially to our Treasurer who has performed the duties of his office so well. The work in this department is constantly increasing; it has in no way been neglected and the detailed report submitted by him must be very satisfactory to you as it is to your President. The duties of the Secretary have also been faithfully performed and he has rendered me valuable assistance in very many ways, which are fully appreciated. I believe the interest in the veterans was never greater than it is to-day. The people of our good Commonwealth fully appre ciate the services they rendered to their country, and the fact 8 that their representatives in our Legislature year after year pass the appropriation hill without a dissenting voice is proof of this. The conduct of the men in the Home has in every way been such as to show that they are worthy of all the kindness bestowed upon them and our meeting to-day closes one of the most satis factory years in every respect since our incorporation.' Respectfully submitted, JOHN G. B. ADAMS. P resident. 9

MEMBERSHIP. General Averill, the Government Inspector of State Homes, in his report of last year says, “ from the meagre, hut only reliable data available, the expectation is deducted that the popu lation of Soldiers’ Homes will reach its maximum about 1905.” Without the aid of statistics from which we might be able to approximately determine when the maximum membership would be reached, we have felt in the past, that with each addition to the Home we have been anticipating the future, and providing for all who would be likely to need its benefits. A careful study of the increase in membership for the past few years, the number of men admitted during the year, and the average number present during that time, or the increased number who remain permanently in the Home, must, I think, convince us that tut a short time will elapse before the additional accommodations we are now providing will be taken advantage of, and occupied, by those who need the shelter of the Home. Three years ago, in 18'92, the average daily membership of the Home was 198 ; our average membership for the past year has been 2S4, indicating an increase in three years of 13.4 per cent. While the membership of the Home has been rapidly increas ing, the number of admissions and readmissions has been diminish- ing, indicating clearly that more men are remaining permanently in the Home than ever before.
HOSPITAL. With the increasing years of the veteran, our hospital has become the most important factor of our work. That the demand for admission to this department will increase in greater proportion as the veteran grows older, is a fact which we all recognize. Our hospital, instead of being filled with patients, whose only disability is old age, is occupied by men afflicted with a great variety of diseases, many of them in the most acute form, which require the skill, patience and constant attention of the surgeon and nurses. We have had in the hospital during the past year an average of seventy-three patients daily j this number will be greatly aug- 34 mented by the additional membership we are sure to have when the new building is completed. Recognizing the importance of a complete and thorough hospital department in all its branches, that the sick and disabled who come to us may have the best possible treatment, I respect fully suggest that, in my judgment, the time has arrived when we should have a resident surgeon at the Home.
The following table shows the work of the Hospital since the Home was organized

DISCIPLINE. The conduct of the men has been remarkably good. Of the four hundred and seventy-three men in the Home during the past year, there have been but twelve discharged for cause, and of that number, eight was for the improper use of intoxicating liquors. I think the men generally appreciate the benefits of the Home, and try to maintain its good reputation by good conduct and cheerfully complying with all its rules.
PERMANENT IMPROVEMENTS. Work on the new building authorized by the Trustees and to be known as Sargent Hall, was commenced on the first of the present month ; at about the same time the alterations determined upon in the main building, consisting of the changing of the enter tainment hall to a dining-room for the Hospital, with rooms for the nurses, the dividing of the second and third stories by a partition near the main stairway and adding twenty rooms to the Hospital, was commenced. 35
The hall known as Peter Smith Hall and formerly used as a dormitory, is being changed to an entertainment hall sixty-three feet by forty, with a commodious stage and ante-rooms, while beyond this is a room forty feet by thirty-six, which will be used as a library and reading-room. Work has also commenced in the boiler-room of moving the fire pump and setting an additional boiler for steam heating. After the fire in the storehouse, which occurred in April last, and when the building was being repaired, a larger and more con venient carpenter’s shop was arranged, a hose house constructed, and a hose carriage and hose purchased. The avenue in front of the Home has been greatly improved by the setting of about nine hundred feet of granite edgestones. To make this improvement complete and to preserve the road way, gutters should be paved on either side to conduct the water in the heavy rains and thaws of spring away from the buildings.
MISCELLANEOUS. In June last I made application to the Quartermaster’s Department at Washington for headstones, to mark the graves of the members of the Home buried in our lot at Forest Dale Cemetery, Malden. The request was granted, and one hundred and nineteen headstones received and placed in position. In my report of July 30, 1891, as Treasurer, Woman’s Relief Corps No. 5 of Medford is credited with one hundred dollars for the furnishing of a room ; this should have been credited to Moses Ellis Independent Relief Corps of Medfield. Department Commander of Mass. Grand Army of the Repub lic, W. A. Wetherbee, with the Council of Administration, held its quarterly meeting at the Home, July 26, 1894. The Home has also been visited by Commander-in-Chief Thomas G. Lawler of Illinois, accompanied by Quartermaster Gen. John W. Burst, by Mrs. Emma R. Wallace, National President Woman’s Relief Corps, Mrs. Clare H. Burleigh, Department President Mass. Woman’s Relief Corps, and Gen. John C. Black of Illinois, a member of the Board of Managers of the National Home. 3G
The annual inspection of the Home was made by Gen. Wm. W . Averill, U.S.A. Assistant Inspector-General National Home for D.V.S., Aug. 4. 1894. The Ladies’ Aid Association, auxiliary to the Board of Trus tees, continue their kind and generous work for the Home. Two members of the organization are selected each month who visit the Home, arrange for the Sunday services, entertainments for the men, and provide many articles of comfort and luxury for the sick in hospital. Mrs. Wm. A. Bancroft, the President of the associ ation, has made frequent visits to the Home during the year: There is hardly a week passes, that we are not visited either by a committee from some local organization of the Woman’s Relief Corps, or by a Corps itself, to see if the furnishings of their rooms are complete and in good condition, or to entertain the men. One Corps, No. 29 of Lynn, visits the Home annually, entertains the men in the afternoon and furnishes them with supper, providing everything consumed at the meal. I desire to express my thanks to the Trustees for their kind ness to Mrs. Creasey and myself, and to acknowledge my obliga tions to all the officers of the Home, who have most faithfully and conscientiously performed their duties. I herewith submit the report of the Surgeon, together with a descriptive list of members admitted to the Home during the year, also a descriptive list of those in the Home June 30, 1895. GEORGE W.

B oston, M a ss., Sept. 1, 1895. To t h e T r u stee s of the Soldiers’ Home in Massachusetts. Gentlemen: I have the honor to submit my eleventh annual report. The excellent report of the Superintendent, which gives in detail the number of admissions, readmissions, deaths, discharges, etc., leaves but little for me to say in connection with the affairs of the Home during the past year. The most important question that has been before the Board during the year has been the matter of increased accommodation, the demand for admissions being so great that many veterans had to be turned away because we could make no provision for them, notwithstanding every available space was occupied by beds. As the result of a number of meetings and careful consideration it was decided to erect a new and substantial brick building which would accommodate about one hundred men, alter the present buildings so as to make quite a large addition to the hospital, give us a library and reading-room, increase the size of the entertain ment hall, and furnish increased accommodations for the head quarters of the Superintendent. As you will observe at this annual meeting, the brick building is nearly completed and will soon be ready for occupancy, and the alterations in the main building are ready for your inspection. With this increased accommodation and the alterations that have been made, it is believed that we will this winter be enabled to care for about four hundred and fifty veterans. It is gratifying to know that we will be able to care for so many, for I am informed that the National Homes are now full. 00 There have been seven meetings of the Board during the year, three of which were special meetings to consider plans and estimates for the new building. The meetings of the Board have been gen erally well attended. With the great responsibility which rests on the Board, both financially and otherwise, every Trustee should attend all the meetings possible, so that we may be benefited by his presence and his judgment on all matters of importance. We have lost by death during the year an ever-faithful and earnest associate, James F. Meech. He was the first Secretary of the Board and one of the foremost in founding this Home. It was under his care the Home was first opened, and he never lost interest in it until the day of his death. I was associated with him from the first and can appreciate his worth as a safe adviser and an indefatigable worker. The President and the Board as a body have paid noble tribute to his memory. By a death in the ranks of the Ladies’ Aid Association the Home has lost one of its most valued friends and generous contrib utors. From the early days of the war Mrs. Lyman Tucker of Boston was one of the most devoted friends of the Union soldier and sailor. She was prominent at the opening of the first soldiers’ home on West Springfield St., Boston, during the war, and when this Home was projected went into the work with enthusiasm. After the burial lot at Forest Dale Cemetery was purchased by the Ladies’ Aid Association, she volunteered to build (at her own ex pense) the beautiful monument which now graces the lot. She also contributed in many ways to the comfort of the men. Mrs. Tucker was first Vice-President of the Ladies’ Aid Association. Her genial, happy face will be missed from its meetings, while the veterans lose a warm and generous friend. As the sine of the Home increases so does the labor of the President, Secretary and Treasurer. The number of inmates dur ing this summer has been considerably larger than that of any pre vious year. As a result the work of the Secretary has increased in the matter of correspondence, but I am happy to say that all has been cared for and the work of the office cleared up. From the reports of Trustees who visit the Home officially, everything seems to be very satisfactory, and great credit is given the Superintendent for his able and economical management. As 61 the result of inquiry I find the men generally contented and happy, with less friction than at any time since the opening of the Home. I desire to express my thanks to the President for his kindness and co-operation, and to the Superintendent and Matron for their many kindnesses during my visits to the Home, and for the assistance cheerfully rendered in connection with my duties as Secretary. Respectfully submitted, GEORGE S. EVANS, Secretary. 62 SURGEON’S REPORT. To t h e S uperintendent of the Soldiers’ Home in Massachusetts. Dear Sir: I have the honor of submitting the thirteenth annual report of the Hospital. The general condition of the Hospital remains about the same as last year. Our room has been taxed to its utmost capacity, in fact we have been obliged to go to the main building for accommo dation. The forty beds about to be given us by the addition of the new building, now in process of construction, will probably give us room enough, under the present arrangement, for the next two or three years. In my judgment, all men above seventy years of age should be in the Hospital, where they would be directly under the eye and care of the Surgeon. Many cases of severe illness would be avoided were they so placed. As is well known, men often forget they are not young, and can’t do as they could years ago; also that a great majority of the inmates are broken down when they come to us, from exposure, etc. The number of deaths has been less this year than last, with a considerably larger number of inmates. Consumption, heart disease and paralysis have, as usual, claimed the greater number. We may look for a still larger number in the years to come, until they are all mustered out. It requires well, strong men to attend to the sick and disabled, having so many as we do that are totally disabled, many of them not able to turn themselves in bed, to say nothing of those that can neither dress nor undress themselves, requiring almost constant attention to keep them in a fairly comfortable condition. 63 One passing through the Hospital can form but a slight idea of the amount of work and care it requires to keep the men looking as well as most of them do. In addition to the female nurses, in whose behalf too much cannot be said, I would suggest that two well, strong and willing men, not inmates of the Home, be placed on each floor; also that none but the very best men be detailed for work in the Hospital, and they be made permanent, if possible.
