The Friends of Burial Hill and the 22nd Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry re-enactors invite the public to an event honoring four departed Plymouth soldiers at 1 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 16, at Burial Hill.
Corporal Seth Paty arrived home in Plymouth Oct. 18, 1864 with the bodies of Sgt. George Wadsworth and Corporals Thomas Hayden and Thomas Collingwood, formerly of Company E of the 29th Regiment, Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry. At the conclusion of church services for these men, a procession was led by members of Company E, followed by family, friends, comrades and the community, to their final resting place on Burial Hill.
The procession to Burial Hill and the graveside services will be re-enacted. The Friends of Burial Hill welcome participants from the 22nd Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry and the Standish Guards. The event is free and open to the public. Attendees are welcome to wear period dress. Light refreshments will be served in the historic 1749 Courthouse Museum following the event.
Meet outside the First Parish Church in Town Square. For more information, email cheryle.burialhillfriend@verizon.net or see friendsofburialhill.org.
