Jones: With Other Proceedings, at the Unveiling of the Monument to the Memory of Ex-President Andrew Johnson, at Greenville, Tennessee, June 5th, 1878 The ceremonies connected with the unveiling of the monument erected over the remains of Ex-President Andrew Johnson, occurred at Greeneville, Tenn., June 5, 1878. At an early hour of that day people began flocking into the village from the surrounding country. Special trains from the east and west poured into town a throng of people from along the line of railroad from Bristol to Knoxville. There were three thousand people present, including distinguished citizens from every division of the State. At 11 o´clock the procession was formed in front of the Court-house and moved to Monument Hill in the following order: Drum Corps. Coeur de Leon Commandery, of Knoxville. Odd Fellows Band. Carriages, conveying the speakers and the family of Ex-President Johnson. Invited guests in carriages. Citizens. After the arrival at the monument, the family and invited guests, including the Knights Templar, took seats on the stand erected for the purpose, when Mr. C. Van Gunden, of the firm of Van Gunden, Young Drumm, of Philadelphia, Pa., builders of the monument, spoke as follows: "Mr. President: On the 31st of March, 1877, Mrs. Martha J. Patterson, Mrs. Mary J. Stover and Andrew Johnson, Jr., children of the late President Johnson, contracted with us for the construction of this work. We have felt ourselves highly honored in being chosen by them, for we had not only the artists and mechanics pleasure, but, as American citizens, have felt grateful in being permitted, though in an humble way, to perpetuate the memory of Tennessee´s greatest statesman.
