SOLDIERS' AND SAILORS' MONUMENT DEDICATED.
The Soldiers' and Sailors' Monument is upon the site of old Fort Ball, within the original village of Oakley, and the base stone of the monument was laid May 8, 1885. The monument is of Westerfield granite. weighting sixteen tons and three hundred pounds. The monument bears the inscriptions : On the east front, commencing at the top. "Shiloh, Vicksburg, Gettysburg (Die), Seneca County to her Loyal Soldiers." On the north front "Atlanta, Antietam. Appomattox (Die), Fort Ball 1812." On the west front "Nashville, Cedar Creek, Wilderness." On the south front "Resaca, Stone River. Mission Ridge."
The question of placing this monument in the court house square was seriously considered by many of the people, but the better sense of the majority prevailed. and now one of the historic spots of the continent is marked by an artistic pile of granite and marble, which groups, as it were, the recollections of 1812 and of 1865.
The unveiling and dedication of the monument took place July 3, 1885. Ex-governor Foster was president of the day; General W. H. Gibson. dedicator; Joseph P. Myers, marshal, and J. A. Thrapp, chaplain. At the close of the president's address, H. W. Yeager, the contractor. unveiled the monument, and the ceremony of dedication commenced.
Addressing General Gibson. the president said: "Commander of the G. A. R .. I am authorized to ask you at this time to accept from the citizens of Seneca county, at the hands of its official repre- sentatives, this memorial. and to request that it may be dedicated by you to the noble purpose for which it has been erected."
General Gibson then responded in one of his happiest speeches, and called on the adjutant to detail a guard.
Adjutant Edward Lepper then read the following names, and each one reported present :
Schriner, of Leander Stem Post.
Blackwell, of Isaac P. Rule Post.
Carson, of W. T. Brown Post.
Turner, of W. T. Brown Post.
Day, of Powell Post.
Callihan, of Norris Post.
Grove, of Rice and Creglow Post.

Eckelberry, of Robinson Post.
He then responded: "Commander. the guard is present."
Commander Gibson-"Officer of the Day, you will direct the Officer of the Guard to station this detail about the memorial shaft."
After they had been placed about the monument he proceeded : "Holy Scripture saith: 'The Lord gave the word; great was the company of those that published it.' Ps. Ixviii, 11.
"'Declare ye among the nations, and publish and set up a standard.' Jer. L, 2.
" 'In the name of our God we will set up our banners.' Ps.
xx, 5.
"Officer of the Day, you will order the Guard of Honor to raise the flag."
Officer of the Day-"Officer of the Guard, let the flag be raised."
The flag was then drawn up the pole, and as it unfolded itself to the breeze the chorus of forty or fifty male voices broke forth in the inspiring strains of the "Star Spangled Banner."
Commander-"The forces of the nation are divided into two great arms; that of the navy and that of the army. Senior Vice Commander what words of Holy Scripture may apply to the navy?"
James Crawford, S. V. C., then responded as follows: "They that go down to the sea in ships. that do business in great waters, these see the works of the Lord and His wonders in the deep. For He commandeth and raiseth the stormy wind, which lifteth up the waves thereof * * Then they ery unto the Lord in their trouble, and He bringeth them out of their distresses. He maketh the storm a calm so that the waves thereof are still. Then are they glad because they be quiet, so He bringeth them into their desired haven. Oh that men would praise the Lord for His goodness, and for His wonderful works to the children of men !" Ps. cvii. 23. 24, 25, 28-32.
