COMPANY B OF METHUEN

CAPTAINS
Leverett Bradley, farmer; 47; Methuen; July 5, '61; dis. Sept. 19, '62 ; d. June 17, '80, Methuen.
Born Mar. 22, '14, at Haverhill, son of Captain Brickett and Hannah (Merrill) Bradley. He was a tireless, progressive farmer, and carried projects to a conclusion that would have staggered more conservative minds. In '57 he received from the Essex County Agricultural Society a special reward for the reclamation of forest bog-lands, so treacherous that draughtmen had to be employed instead of horses or oxen; in '50 he followed the forty-niners to California, after the discovery of gold, acting as the first forwarding agent of Wells Fargo Express Co. across the Isthmus of Panama.
When a young man he joined the state militia and rose by gradual promotion from the ranks to be a lieutenant in Co. F of the 6th Regiment, M. V. M., and in '59 and '60 was captain of Co. I, same regiment. In '61, on the breaking out of the rebellion, he recruited Co. K of Lawrence and then was called by the selectmen of Methuen to recruit in that town what later became Co. B of the 14th Infantry; Governor Andrew commissioned him captain.
As a militia officer before the war, he had a part in the great encampment projected and held on the plains of Concord in '59. When the body of Private S. H. Needham, k. in Baltimore, April 19, '61, was returned to Lawrence, Captain Bradley commanded the escort at the burial. After the war he raised and commanded an independent troop of cavalry which participated in the celebration of the 150th anniversary of the incorporation of Methuen, '75.

Christopher S. Heath, from first lieut. Sept. 20, '62; m. o. Oct. 7, '64; d. Oct. 3, 1896, Epsom, N. H.
He was born in Washington, Vt., March 31, 1828, and died Oct. 3, 1896 at Epsom, N. H. He enlisted in Co. B and went into camp with the company on the 24th of June, and the next day was lieut. of the guard, being the first officer to do duty after going into camp. On the 5th of July he was commissioned as second lieutenant for three years and mustered into service the same day. On Sept. 10, 1861, he was commissioned as first lieutenant. In Sept., '61, he was sent to Fort Richardson (then building) with a detachment of men with 230-pound Parrott guns, and trailed them on Munson Hill which the Rebels were then fortifying. On June 14, '62, he was put in command of Co. B and Sept. 20, '62, commissioned as captain of the company.
At Maryland Heights he was in command of the post. He built one magazine and strengthened the works at Howitzer Battery with Co. B, and other details, on May 2, '64, he was detached from the company and sent to Albany, N. Y. as inspector of artillery horses. On Sept. 17, '64, he was returned to the company; on the 7th of Oct. was mustered out of the service.

Bradley, Jeremiah (Jerry) Payson (mus.), 14; student; Methuen; Nov. 16, '61; dis. Nov. 15, '64, ex. of s. He was born in Methuen, June 7, '48, son of Capt. Leverett and Catherine (Frye) Bradley. Col. James Frye, who commanded the 4th Essex Regiment at Bunker Hill, was his great-great-grandfather; Enoch Bradley in the paternal line was also an officer in the Revo-lution. He was educated in the public schools of Methuen and Lawrence, leaving at the age of thirteen years to join his father's company and was at first drummer of the company and later was made regimental bugler. He took part in all the battles in which the regiment engaged until shortly before his discharge at the end of his term of enlistment.
After recovering from illness on his return from the army he studied mechanical engineering. Since '68, when he entered the employ of the Downer Kerosene Oil Co., he has been engaged in va-rious ways continuously with the petroleum industries and trade. In 1869, in conjunction with Lieut. Stymers of the U. S. Navy, he constructed the first successful apparatus for burning crude oil as fuel. For many years he has been a member of the Kehew-Bradley Co., Boston, manufacturing oils, curriers' supplies and starch; also president of The Boston Oil Co. of Ohio, producers of petroleum.
He was chairman of the original Boston schoolhouse commission, appointed in 1900, and had charge of the erection of new buildings at a cost of $4,000,000 and putting the other schoolhouses into modern condition. So well was his duty done that he received the' thanks of the Mayor and commendation of the press.
Entering the state militia in 1873, he became adjutant with the rank of first lieutenant in the First Battalion of Cavalry; was appointed by Gov. Wolcott, in 1897, assistant adjutant general with the rank of colonel and served three years, including the Spanish war period. He joined the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Co. in '77 and was its national color bearer during the visit to England in 1896, and is distinguished as the first American soldier under arms to carry the American flag through the streets of London and into Windsor Castle before the Queen; in '97 he was elected commander of the corps and enlisted a company from its eligible membership to serve in the Spanish War as heavy artillery, but the war ended before they could be mustered in.
Joining the Grand Army in '69, he was the first adjutant and third commander of his post and for twenty-five years its chaplain; acting assistant adjutant general, assistant inspector general and commander of his department; national inspector general and chief of staff to the commander-in-chief and member of the National Council of Administration, he has been one of the leading comrades of the Grand Army in recent years, and was nominated, unanimously, Commander-in-Chief by his department at the annual encampment in Faneuil Hall, April 4, 1916.
In younger days he was superintendent of one of the largest Sunday schools in Boston, and has for many years been a member of Old South Church, to which on Feb. 22, 1917, he gave the flag in memory of his own regiment, The First Massachusetts Heavy Artillery.
He is a member also of the Boston Chamber of Commerce, the Military Historical Society of Mass., National Geographic Society, Bostonian Society, Society of the Army of the Potomac, the Y. M. C. A., and the Algonquin Club.
Col. Bradley or "Jerry" as his comrades have called him for fifty years is the chairman of the present history committee, but the author of this work has insisted that his blue pencil shall not be used on his own biography. He has been one of the most active, generous and useful men in the regiment since the war, serving on committees on all important occasions, representing the regiment when an eloquent tongue or facile pen and persuasive logic were needed. The writer takes pleasure at this time in expressing the gratitude of the members of the regimental association for the work of comrade Bradley, with the assistance of the other members of the committee, in pushing to completion an undertaking that has dragged for many years.
At the dedication of the regimental memorials at Spottsylvania, Va., and Salem, and the Melvin Memorial at Concord, he was the spokesman for the living as well as the dead. The youngest man of the regiment, still young in looks and action, has won distinction and honor in many walks of life, but he has gained nothing of greater account than the love, esteem, confidence and gratitude of the First Heavy Artillery, of his old comrades on the field of battle in the Civil War.
Bradley, Leverett, Jr., 16; student; Methuen, Charlestown; en. Oct. 30, '61; m. Nov. 16, '61; re. Mar. 24, '64; prom. sergt. ; prom. 1st lieut. July 31, '65; not mustered; m. o. Aug. 16, '65, as 1st sergt. Born in Methuen, July 11, '46, son of Captain Leverett and Catherine (Frye) Bradley. Soon after the war, he began to prepare for college at Phillips Academy, Andover, and was graduated from Amherst College, '73, and later studied at the Hartford Theological Seminary. Changing his denomination he entered the Episcopal ministry and for three years was assistant to Rev. Dr. Phillips Brooks in Trinity Church, Boston. Later he was rector of Episcopal parishes in Gardiner, Me., Andover, Mass., and Philadelphia, Pa., in every one achieving the most marked success. He was chaplain of the Third Penn. militia regt. during the coal strike in the fall of 1902 and, though in failing health, did excellent work with the men. Continued illness, however, compelled his withdrawal from usual activities. He died Dec. 31, 1902, in Philadelphia. His war diary with a biography was published, and numerous extracts will be found in this work.
On March 31, 1865, during the engagement on Vaughan Road, Gen. Humphrey directed Gen. Mott, commanding our (3rd Division) to carry by assault the entrenchment at Burgess Mill. In moving forward in solid mass to the abattis or slashing in front of the enemies' works, some of my men failed at the onset to reach the outer edge of said slashing, but instead fell behind trees and commenced firing over the heads of the lines in advance. At this time, Sergt. Leverett Bradley, being in my immediate command, of his own motion rallied these men into line, holding them there by his exhortation and example, when I addressed him in words of commendation for his brave act.
