by the presentation to Stoughton post,

white bronze figure of a private. The
monument complete is about IL feet
high. On the front of the base in
raised letters is "1S61-1S65," and on
the die is, In Memory of Our Ma
tons Heroes" On the back side of
the die is inscribed, Erected by the
w. r. c., Dedicated May 80, 1901"
The entire cost was $500 and the
monument was presented to the G. A.
r. free from encumbrance. The Re
lief corps raised the money during
the past six years, and their earnest
endeavor is deserving of much praise.
