The first casualties of the war weren't until the 18th of April in the Baltimore Riots. Four soldiers from the Sixth Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry Regiment were killed. Two from Lowell, one from Lawrence, and one from Boston.
About 15 years ago, I was contracted to restore the Ladd and Whitney monument placed in front of the "new" Lowell City Hall which was not built until several years later. The monument was dedicated in July 1865. It is a obelisk perched on two granite burial vaults. Or maybe it is four as they are placed in a cruciform arrangement.
A monument in Lawrence for Sumner Needham still languishes even though I submitted a bid many years ago. Don't know anything about the Boston soldier.
There is alot of activity in eastern Massachusetts on the 18th. We have the reenactment of Concord and Lexington, the Boston Marathon, and always a day game at Fenway Park which is not far from the finish line of the Marathon. I imagine there will also be a ceremony at the Civil War Monument in Lowell.
I have never been to any of the events. Too many people and mind boggling traffic. It's a holiday for many.
