The Bedford gazette. [volume] (Bedford, Pa.) 1805-current, 1866-03-02

commenced the erection of such monu-
ments within their limits, and Bedford
county should not be behindhand in so
grateful q work.
In the counties having within their
limits our large and wealthy cities,
magnificent and costly piles will be
erected. In more rural locations, less
ostentatious, but no less appropriate
structures viii be reared. We, of course,
can only emulate the latter.
In several of the inland counties,
sums have been raised by subscription
for this purpose, varying from seven
thousand to twenty-five thousand dol
lars. Bedford county should make the
EFFORT to reach at least the minimum of
these.
At a public meeting Of the citizens of
| thecounty held on Wednesday evening
Of Court week. Feb. "A, the undersign-
ed We're appointed central committee
! for the purpose OF undertaking this
work. Executive committees will be
appointed in each borough and town
ship to cooperate with the county COM
mittee, in soliciting subscriptions aud
collecting statistics relating to the dead,
50 that not one name may be forgotten.
/ The friends0f the emovement through
out the county land as far a. spoken of
/ there seems to be a universal apprOVal)
are OF one mind in saying that five
/ thousand dollars is the least sum that
/ should be appropriated to this object,
/ and, from encouragement already re-
ceived, the committee feel assured that
/ all that is necessary to ensure success in
/ so laudabie an undertaking. is to have
/ it brought TO the notice Of our citizens.
/ We, therefore, ask the active and int
mediate cooperation Of the township
and borough committees to whom due
notice of theira appointment will be Civ
en- and of all interested in the matter.
/ We also respectfully ask Of the clergy
/ that they will read this notice from
+ their puipitS, and recommend the work
to their people, and aid us by their in
/ tiuence and personal eXcTtiOn.
! lit may be proper here to state that
/ the Bedford Cemetery Association have
offered to donate 10 the Monument
+ Committee as much ground as may be
needed for this purpose, in one of the
most beautiful and valuable locations
/ in the cemetery.
