The 19th Century Members of the 
Stoughton Grenadiers Association (1822 to 1898)

As originally published in The Stoughton Sentinel - April 1, 1914 

in The Sentinel Observations column by former Stoughton Grenadier and newspaper editor Lemuel Wilbur Standish.

"I found at the Historical Rooms this week the old original muster record book of the Stoughton Grenadier Association and in looking it over I have been deeply interested to note the names of those who were found on the roll with the dates given in nearly all instances of when they were born, enlisted, and died.  It seemed to me that it would be a good thing to put this record into enduring print, and so although it takes up nearly all my space and a little more this week I feel that the importance f all the subject justifies the room it takes.  I only regret I have is that I will have to postpone till next week the relation of some of those very choice and interesting stories of the Grenadiers that I have been just anxious to tell.  But they will keep, they are all takes, famous in the annals of the old Association and so will prove interesting to my readers I know. I following is the complete muster roll as I find it in the muster."

I have taken the above list from the muster book as I found it and have not tried to verify or add to the record as it there stands.  Of course many of the above have died since this record book was made up.  The last meeting of the old Association was held in 1898.  I believe and since then there has been nothing entered in the book.
