THE FIRST MONUMENT FOR
UNION SOLDIERS.

HANSEN, WIS: May p, 1891.
| EDITOR REPoRTER:-
As Memorial Day is now approaching,
perchance anything that contributes to
the memory of Union Soldiers would be
in order, and by your permission,
should you deem it of sufficient interest
to the many readers Of your interesting
paper, will contribute few facts re-
garding what is said to be the first
monument erected to the memory of
| the dead.
This monument was erected by the
5Sth Reg, Ind. Vol. (The late General
Geo. T. Buell's regiment and is located
in the southwest corner of the public
square, of the CITY Of Princeton, Ind,
and was dedicated July 4th, 1865. While
large portion of those who had reared
it We're still in Kentucky camp await
ing their discharge, though quite num-
Der obtained furloughs to attend the
dedication ceremonies, and accepted it
on benalf of their dead. This harmon
izing combine of artistic design is a
marble shaft of about 80 feet, on the
north side of which are crossed swords,
| flags and wreath; on the east side a
small shield rests on crossed punches Of
myrtle and oak; on the south is KNAPP
sack supporting crossed muskets and
flags and soldiers cap; on the west is
Indiana's coat of arms, and about mid
way of the shaft is arranged the names
Of all the important engagements in
which the regiment participated, and
on the base arranged by companies is
inscribed the names of those of the reg
iment known to be dead, and an Ameri-
can Eagle made from the finest Italian
marble surmounts the shaft holding the
the national ensign in its beak and tai
| Ions.
This monument cost about 900 and
was raised by subscription from officers
and men and also by donating ration
money due the regiment. In this I'M
ique way this beautiful monument was
erected, and as time passes has became
an object of interest and the attraction
of strangers who chance to pass that
way, and is the subject of much inquiry
as to its origin and purpose.
