Bronze Monument on Public Square.
Special TO Times Republican.
Eldora, April 26-With a view OF
properly and periodically comemorat-
ing the rugged virtues OF the pioneers
Of this section Of the state, Open Fire
chapter, Daughters Of the American
Revolution, OF this city. is planning to
place in the public square park a
bronze monument or marker. 1t Is
the thought of the society at the time
Of the dedication Of the monument to
give a program suitable to the occa-
sion.
In the early days in this section Of
the state the pioneers for days lived
in mortal terror Of massacre by hostile
Indians, shortly after the tragedy
which occurred near Spirit Lake, in
north west Iowa.
1t has been suggested that a fitting
emblem to be placed on the monument
or marker would be the bronze out
line Of a husband, wife and children
