Book Description
Excerpt from Dedication of a Soldiers' Monument, at Claremont, N. H: October 19, 1869, Proceedings, Speeches, Etc In accordance with arrangements the ceremonies of dedicating a Soldiers' Monument in Claremont, took place on the 19th of October A. D. 1869. During the War of the Rebellion of 1861-65, when our Claremont Soldiers were falling in the battles of Bull Run, Fair Oaks, Cold Harbor, Fredericksburg, the Wilderness and others, and dying in hospitals from disease induced by hardships and exposure, it was determined that some suitable monument should be erected in the town to commemorate the events of the war and perpetuate the memory and fame of those Claremont men who died while doing battle for their country. At the close of the war, in April, 1865, the Claremont Auxiliary Sanitary Commission found in their treasury about one hundred and sixty dollars, which by vote of the members was placed at interest as a Soldiers' Monument fund, to be used when a sum should be obtained, which with this, would pay for a suitable memorial to the fallen heroes of the town. About fifty dollars were left after paying the expenses of a Fourth of July celebration, in 1865, and this amount the committee of arrangements voted to appropriate to the same object. At the annual town meeting, in March, 1867, it was voted to appropriate one thousand dollars for a Soldiers' Monument, provided that five hundred dollars should be raised by contribution or otherwise. Subscription papers, with a condition that no one should pay more than one dollar, were circulated by ladies in each school district, and about six hundred dollars were obtained. Heads of families generally paid one dollar, and children of all ages twenty-five cents. Thus almost every individual at that time in town contributed something towards this memorial, and there was not far from eight hundred dollars obtained, besides the thousand dollars voted by the town. At the annual town meeting, in March, 1868, it was voted to appropriate two thousand dollars to this object, provided that one thousand dollars should be raised by contribution or otherwise.
