Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Record of the Procession and of the Exercises at the Dedication of the Monument (Wednesday, July 17, A. D. 1878): Elected by the People of Hanover, Massachusetts, in Grateful Memory of the Soldiers and Sailors of That Town Who Died in the War for the Preservation of the Union The record of the town of Hanover in the late war for the preservation of the Union is a most creditable one. The first meeting to act upon affairs connected with this war was held May 4, 1861. At all subsequent meetings, the town showed a most commendable spirit of patriotism relative to this fearful struggle. Her citizen soldiers were a glory to the town and an honor to the State, and were never found wanting in the time of trial. She furnished about two hundred men - nearly one-eighth of her entire population - to the army and navy, and had a surplus of twenty-two over and above all demands at the end of the war. The town paid in bounties $25,000, and in State aid (refunded by the State) during the war $2,859 Since the war there has been expended for State aid $21,227. Measures For Procuring A Monument. The subject of the erection of a Monument to commemorate the valor of Hanover´s heroic dead soldiers was brought to notice on Memorial Day, 1877. At the exercises in the Town Hall, one of the speakers remarked that more than sufficient time for the erection of a Monument to the memory of the brave soldiers from the town, who died in the war for the preservation of the Union, had elapsed, and yet no steps had been taken to that end. He suggested that the ladies - always first in every good work - should take the matter in hand, and by means of a Fair should endeavor to aid in procuring such an amount of money as would suffice to erect a Shaft to the memory of Hanover´s fallen heroes.
