Soldiers of 1861 - 1865, Worchester, Vermont

This town was not settled at the time of the Revolutionary War, and no soldiers went from this town to the War of 1812; but some who enlisted and served in it have been for many years residents. Samuel Andrews, now living here, served in the army one year at the first of the war, and again enlisted during the war. Samuel Kelley, Matthias Folsom, Joel H. Templeton, Jasper Stoddard are such, and perhaps others of whom we have not known.

All of them are dead except Mr. Stoddard.
