Invitation to Funeral and Bath City Grays History
The article recalls Sir William Phips and a posthumous invitation to his burial, then shifts to Maine politics and temperance history. It highlights the Bath City Grays militia, their formation in 1850, notable campaigns, involvement in Civil War and local memory preserved by William H. Watson who owns the original muster roll. It notes past uproars, recalls Bull Run, and the regiment’s long service.
