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

Grand Army Hall, in St. Peter street, Salem, Mass, was the rallying point of the regiment, and as the com rades gathered one by one, each new arrival was hailed as a brother beloved, for no friendships are more sincere and lasting than those that are fostered amid the trying scenes Of war.

After the business meeting the members formed in line under the direction Of Captain George M. Whipple, Presi dent of the Association for the past two years, and escorted by Company H 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 fiocked with brilliancy the plat form and space about the boulder occupied by the veterans and their friends.
