IN MEMORIAM


An elaborate monument was erected in 1868, dedicated July 4, in memory of those soldiers whose enlistment carried them down to death and crowned their names with a wreath of honor, although the men lived not to herald the announcement of the nations' victory. Among the active citizens who managed the enterprise an association was formed, with J. C. McCrary, President; Joshua J. Sloan, Treasurer, and John A. Miller, Secretary. The dedicatorial address was delivered by Rev. Isaac P. Teter.
