Whately — Whately Rebellion Record.
Extracted from "History of the Connecticut Valley in Massachusetts, Volume II," by Louis H. Everts, 1879.
The town gave a prompt and cheerful response to every call for troops to aid in suppressing the Rebellion of 1861-65. It is believed that the appended list contains the names of all resident soldiers of Whately, with date of their enlistment and regimental connection.
Much of the matter in this sketch of Whately has been compiled from the excellent history of the town, prepared in 1871, by the Rev. J. H. Temple, the fourth pastor of the Congregational Church of Whately. For valuable additional information the writer is indebted to James M. Crafts, Dennis Dickinson, S. W. Allis, C. K. Waite, Elihu Belden, and Samuel Lesure.
