Death of Charles Burrill Ends Long Burrill Claim Saga
Charles Burrill died at his home, closing a long public feud known as the Burrill claim. In 1864 he agreed with Mayor F W Lincoln of Boston to supply 6529 men for the army, a contract later repudiated as the city argued Lincoln bore the responsibility. Burrill retained counsel including General B F Butler and others, pursuing the claim for 23 years.

An evening under Concord Alliance auspices offered a varied lineup but left the audience disappointed as several advertised acts were absent or misrepresented. Miss Jennie L. Hatch and Miss Maude Banks did not perform as promoted, while the standout numbers came from Miss Banks’s reading and instrumental pieces by Frothingham Bacon and Whittemore.
