Excerpt from Dedication of the Boulder Commemorating the Service of the Twenty-Third Regiment, Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry, in the Civil War, 1861-1865: At Salem, Massachusetts, September 28, 1905 After the business meeting the members formed in line under the direction of Captain George M. Whipple, President of the Association for the past two years, and escorted by Company "II" of the Eighth regiment and the Salem Cadet Band, marched to the City Hall where the invited guests were received, line of march being then taken up for the junction of Winter Street and Washington Square, North, where the huge boulder which commemorates the Twenty-third regiment´s part in the Civil War, was located. The day was ideal. The sky smiled above and the air was warmed by the bright sunshine which streamed through the foliage, and flocked with brilliancy the platform and space about the boulder occupied by the veterans and their friends. Upon the platform were seated Captain George M. Whipple, Co. F, retiring President of the Association; William H. Cross, Co. C, President-elect; Lt. Col. D. P. Muzzey, Co. I, Adjutant; Thomas Swasey, Co. B, Quartermaster; Samuel H. Hamblet, Co. F; Major Daniel W. Hammond, Co. G; Miss Bertha W. Ferguson, Grand-daughter of Col. John Kurtz; Mrs. Elizabeth Merritt Gosse, daughter of Lt. Col. Henry Merritt; Mrs. John R. Lakeman; Hon. Robert S. Rantoul; Ex. Mayor Hon. J. B. F. Osgood; General Francis H. Appleton: W. T. Lander, Commander of Post 34; Mayor Joseph N. Peterson; Rev. Dr. De Witt S. Clark; Rev. Dr. Alexander Blackburn and Hon. Joseph A. Wallis, Mayor of Beverly. The exercises opened with prayer by Rev. Alexander Blackburn, D. D., after which the memorial was unveiled by Miss Bertha W. Ferguson and Mrs. C. H. Gosse, the audience standing as the band played the "Star Spangled Banner," Hart´s battery firing a salute of twenty-three guns from the Common. Comrade Thomas Swasey, Quartermaster of the Association, then delivered an address describing the boulder.
