Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Report of State Commission for Erection of Monument to Ninth New Jersey Volunteers at New Berne, North Carolina: Dedication National Cemetery, New Berne, N. C., May 18, 1905 While on a trip through the South in the fall of 1901, Lieutenant E. H. Green, in visiting the National Cemetery at New Berne, North Carolina, was impressed by the fact that, while other Northern States had erected monuments to their dead, the State of New Jersey had no fitting memorial there, notwithstanding that her Ninth Regiment of Volunteer Infantry have eighty of their dead resting in that Cemetery. Upon his return home, Lieutenant Green brought the matter to the attention of the Ninth Regiment Veteran Volunteer Association at the Annual Reunion of the Regiment, and a Committee representing that Association was appointed by its President, General James Stewart, Jr., to place it before the State authorities. But little progress, however, was made until the latter part of the year 1903, when Lieutenant Colonel Samuel Hufty came to the aid of Lieutenant Green, and together they at once began an active personal campaign, enlisting the support of State Senators and Assemblymen, and appearing before the Senate Committee on Appropriations. Their efforts were finally successful, and on March 1st, 1904, a bill appropriating the sum of five thousand dollars for the purpose of erecting and dedicating a monument in memory of the Ninth New Jersey Regiment of Volunteer Infantry was introduced by Senator William J. Bradley of Camden County, unanimously passed by both Houses of the Legislature, and signed by Governor Franklin Murphy.
