STEPHENSON COUNTY SOLDIERS' MONUMENT.
Soon after the close of the war for the Union, there was considerable dis- cussion among the leading citizens of Stephenson County, "without regard to party affiliations, as to the propriety of erecting a suitable monument to com- memorate the heroism of the noble sons of Stephenson County who had vol- untarily laid down their lives upon the altar of their country, and the opinion
322
HISTORY OF STEPHENSON COUNTY
was universal that the living owed such a lasting memento to the memory of their gallant dead." No steps were taken, however, until the winter of 1868, when a mass meeting was called on Saturday, February 19, 1868, at the hall of the Grand Army of the Republic, in Freeport. The meeting was well attended. General Smith D. Atkins was elected chairman, and C. C. Shuler, Esq., secretary. A constitution for forming the Stephenson County Soldiers' Monument Asso- ciation was reported and unanimously adopted, of which Articles I and II read as follows :
ARTICLE I .- NAME.
Section 1. This Association shall be known as "The Stephenson County Soldiers' Monument Association."
ARTICLE II .- OBJECT.
Section 1. The object of this association shall be the erection of a suitable monument, or memorial, to the memory of the gallant dead of Stephenson County, who have laid down their lives while serving in the armies of the United States during the rebellion, in order to rescue their names from forget- fulness, and suitably honor their heroic devotion to country and liberty, when country and liberty were in peril.
Articles III and IV provided for the proper officers of the association, and minutely defined their duties, which were those usual to such associations, and we omit them here.
On motion, the following officers were elected as provided for by the con- stitution ; President, Hon. John H. Addams, of Cedarville; vice presidents, Gen- eral Wilson Shaffer, of Freeport; Ross Babcock, of Ridott; Major J. W. Mc- Kim, of Freeport, and Captain J. P. Reel, of Buckeye; recording secretary, General Smith D. Atkins, of Freeport; corresponding secretary, James S. Mc- Call, of Freeport; treasurer, Captain William Young, of Silver Creek. Execu- tive committee: C. C. Shuler, Freeport; Captain William Cox, Winslow; B. P. Belknap, Oneco; Daniel Bellman, Rock Grove; Captain J. M. Schermerhorn, West Point; Levi Robey, Waddams; Captain William Stewart, Buckeye; Cap- . tain Robert T. Cooper, Rock Run; Captain George S. Kleckner, Kent; Captain · F. A. Darling, Erin; Perez A. Tisdell, Harlem; Captain W. J. Reitzel, Lancas- ter ; Hon. James S. Taggart, Ridott; Frederick Baker, Silver Creek; Conrad Van Brocklin, Florence; Major H. M. Timms, Loran; John R. Hayes, Jeffer- son, and Harrison Diemer, Dakota.
Immediately thereafter, a meeting of the executive committee was called in the parlors of the Second National Bank in Freeport, which was fully at- tended, and an address was prepared and published to the citizens of the county inviting them to subscribe to the fund for building the monument. It was de- cided to have a membership certificate engraved, with correct likenesses of Colonel Holden Putnam, Ninety-third Illinois Volunteers, Colonel John A. Da- vis, Forty-sixth Illinois Volunteers, and Major William R. Goddard, Fifteenth Illinois Volunteers, engraved thereon, they being the only field officers from Stephenson County who had given their lives in the war; such membership certificate to be issued to each subscriber of $1.00 or more. A meeting was ap- pointed for each township in the county to urge the citizens to take hold of the work, all of which meetings were addressed by the secretary of the association,
- 323
HISTORY OF STEPHENSON COUNTY
General S. D. Atkins, and at many of the meetings he was accompanied by Hon, J. M. Bailey and Major I. C. Lawver. In the newspaper report of one of these meetings held at Ridott, we find the following pleasant reference: "At Ridott, a small audience subscribed a little upward of $100. The meeting was addressed by General Atkins and Major Lawver. The Major referred to the fact that before the war he was a Democrat in sentiment, while General Atkins was a Republican. They went to war in the same regiment and fought side by side; neither has changed his political sentiments, and now they are side by side in honoring their dead comrades. So it should be with Democrats and Republicans. The soldiers lost their lives for their country, and all parties should join in erecting a monument to their heroism." The meetings held in the townships resulted in a very thorough organization in all parts of the county, but, after pretty thorough canvassing, only $3,500 had been pledged on the va- rious township subscriptions. The officers of the association therefore resolved to ask the Board of Supervisors to make an appropriation to be added to the voluntary subscriptions that altogether would be sufficient for the completion of a suitable soldiers' monument in commemoration of the heroic dead of the entire county. On Tuesday, June 29, 1869, the Board of Supervisors being in special session, Hon. John H. Addams, the president of the association, Cap- tain William Young, treasurer, and General S. D. Atkins, secretary, as a com- mittee on the part of the Soldiers' Monument Association, waited upon the Board of Supervisors and requested from them permission to erect the monu- ment on the Court House Square in the city of Freeport, and also a suitable donation to aid in its erection. Permission was granted by the Board to erect the monument on the public square as requested, and the sum of $6,000 voted to aid in the erection of the monument by an almost unanimous vote, only one dis- senting, and from that hour the completion of the Stephenson County soldiers' monument was assured. The following members of the Board of Supervisors were added to the executive committee of the monument association: S. K. Fisher, of Waddams; James McFatrich, of West Point, and James A. Grimes, of Lancaster.
