spected by his entire command. For his gallant and meritorious 

 services he received the brevet rank of Brigadier General of Vol- 

 unteers. 



After the war he lived in comparative retirement. His 

 infirmities increased ; he was not able to play any part in active 

 life. But he was not forgotten. His neighbors and friends con- 

 tinued to seek his counsel. The officers of his old regiment 

 sought him out, and on every fitting occasion evinced the regard 

 and honor in which they held him. It was a touching sight to 

 see at his funeral some fifty or more of the enlisted men of the 

 Twentieth, veterans of Ball's Bluff, Antietam, Fredericksburg, 

 Gettysburg, and the Wilderness, mustering, with their badges of 

 mourning, to pay to their gallant leader the last tribute of respect 

 and affection. But not only will his memory be cherished by 

 those who knew him ; his place among the Massachusetts colonels 

 will always be a high one. The service he rendered to the State 

 in the crisis of the Civil War will always be fully and grate- 

 fully remembered. 



Colonel Lee was married in 1842 to Helen Maria Amory, 

 daughter of the late Thomas Amory, Esq., of Boxbury. She sur- 

 vived him about two years. His eldest son, Arthur Tracy Lee, 

 was educated at West Point, and died in 1870, a Lieutenant in the 

 Fifth Artillery. Another son, Robert Ives Lee, and a daughter, 

 Elizabeth Amory, the wife of Colonel 0. H. Ernst of the Army, 

 survive him.
