but now by Henry Garrard, three-quarters of a mile west of the center of the township. It was raised out of its bed with jack screws, loaded on moving trucks and moved in that way to the park by Mr. Henry Porter of Chagrin Falls.
The second base was quarried on land now owned by Charles Richner, and drawn to the park by teams furnished by the citizens, gratuitously. The third base was also quarried on Mr. Parmelee's land, loaded on two truck wagons and drawn by horses.
The marble furnished by the builder consists of seven pieces surmounted by a large spread eagle cut in marble and looking to the east.
On the first base on the north side in raised letters is the word "Twinsburg" and above this is "1867 Semi-Centennial year of the settlement of Twinsburg."
On the east and south side are the names of the soldiers from Twinsburg who served in the war and were alive in 1867; a complete list is given in this chapter.
On the west side: "To the memory of our patriot sons who fell during the rebellion of 1861 to 1865." These names are also given in this chapter.
The dedication of the monument July 4, 1867, was a day long to be remembered by the people of Twinsburg, it being the anniversary of American Independence, also the semi- centennial of the settlement of the township. A large tent had been put on the park, west of the monument, where the main exercises were held.
Over in the orchard northeast from the park, near where Mr. Bishop's house now stands, a big barbecue was staged. Colored cooks were secured from Cleveland for the occasion. An ox which weighed one thousand pounds was roasted whole under the direction of David Huson. An iron rod was run through the ox so that it could be turned over the hot fire. Tables were set in the orchard, ten of them, and about 500 people were present, the dinner being free to all.
Jonathan E. Herrick was president of the day with Horace P. Cannon marshal.
The Declaration of Independence was read, Hon. O. S. Griswold of Cleveland being the orator of the day. Hon. N. D. Tibbals of Akron responded to the toast: "Our citizen soldiers." Henry L. Hitchcock, President of Western Reserve

College to: "Our sons who never returned." Other speakers were Dr.Henry J. Herrick, a native of Twinsburg, Rev. Sydney Bryant, Edwin Oviatt, S. A. Lane, editor Akron Beacon, and Ethan Alling. The exercises were fittingly interspersed with singing, martial and band music, and the firing of cannon.
Under the direction of Mr. Lewis Alling and Mr. Bailey extensive preparations had been made for an enter- tainment that evening befitting the observance of the national holiday as well as the fiftieth anniversary of the settlement of the town. But during the afternoon a violent storm razed the large tent and drenched the ground so that it was necessary to postpone that part of the celebration. Even under those disappointing circumstances it was a day never to be forgotten by those present.
Incidentally the erection of the monument led to much needed inprovements on the public square. In 1867 the township trustees, Philo Chamberlin, Oscar A. Nichols, and Chauncey B. Lane, appropriated $1400.00 for improvements. Only $1100.00 was used, although much grading was done, especially on the southeastern portion. Lewis Cannon and William Parks set out most of the trees. To insure against damage by trespassers a fence was erected a little later, Edwin Barber having the contract for the work. This fence lasted for about a quarter of a century. Now the attractive- ness of the park is its chief protection.
Following are the names and record of the one hundred and twenty volunteers from Twinsburg:
