Hi, Alison. Thanks for your kind offer. Is there a Charles W. RUMRILL and
Harriet E. PALMER around 1899? Or Franklin P. RUMRILL and Persus "Jennie"
FOSTER around 1876? Or Edward M. PALMER and Mary BRIGHAM around 1875?

Hi Margie;
My aunt and cousin lived in Greendale for years....then moved to Morningdale which is part of Boylston.
I never heard of the place until they moved there. And that is where I had my first wedding--on my aunt's lawn.

According to the Regimental History, Wearing the Blue (1879) by J. Waldo
Denny page 419:
"On March 23rd, Captain Tucker having received a commission from the
Governor of Massachusetts, was mustered as Lieutenant-Colonel, to date from
January 1st, 1865. Lieutenant-Colonel Tucker assumed command of the
regiment, and was heartily congratulated by Captain Harrington."
It is interesting to note that James Tucker was previously in charge of
Company C.
