GRANT COUNTY SOLDIERS' MONUMENT.
Hardly had the heroes of old Grant commenced that baptism of blood through which the national life was to be saved, than thoughtful hearts at home began to take into considera- tion the ways and means for procuring some memorial of these services, which should keep green for coming ages the names of those who had given their lives for their country's good, and that those who remained might forever enjoy the blessings of that Union which their fathers had founded.
In a communication addressed to the Grant County Herald, and published in that paper September 16, 1862, Mr. George R. Laughton, of Platteville, proposed that steps be at once taken for the erection of a monument to the heroic dead of Grant County. This was the first known instance wherein anything of the kind had been proposed in any State of the Union. The first plan contemplated a single shaft of white marble, fifteen to seventeen feet high, four to six feet square at the base, and surmounted by eagle, flag and other military emblems. The project met, as might have been supposed, with universal approval. Committees were ap- pointed to collect money for this object, and numerous subscriptions were taken. The first cost of the monument was estimated at about $2,500.
At the meeting of the Board of Supervisors, in January, 1863, P. Hoyt, Potosi ; A. Burr,. Lancaster ; J. Basford, Tafton; Cole & Seaton, Boscobel, and G. R. Laughton, Platteville, were recognized as a committee for receiving subscriptions, and the Board, at this meeting, granted them permission to erect the proposed memorial upon any portion of the court house square which they might select for that purpose. By February, 1863, the amounts pledged

had reached the sum of $700. The work for the succeeding two years progressed but slowly. The exigencies of the war demanded the popular attention, and money, for the time being, was diverted to the payment of bounties, rather than the building of monuments. Not that the sub- ject was any less dear to the public heart, but it was first necessary to determine the fact as to as to whether we were to have a nation.
In April, 1866, the monument received a fresh impetus, when, at a special session of the County Board, the following action was taken : " It is hereby ordered and determined by the Board of Supervisors of Grant County that George R. Laughton, Philetus Hoyt, Luther Bas- ford and Addison Burr be, and they are hereby, appointed a committee to superintend the erec- tion of the soldiers' monument, to be erected at Lancaster, and to expend for that purpose any moneys that may hereafter be appropriated by the County of Grant for that purpose, under the provisions of an act of the Legislature of 1866. The said committee are authorized and empow- ered to make any and all needful contracts necessary for the erection and completion of said monument, at the expense of Grant County."
Previous to this date, a contract had been made with S. D. Wright, of Whitewater, to fur- nish the monument-the shaft and marble columns to be of Vermont white marble, with pedes- tals and sub-base of Joliet stone, the price being $5,000. It being found, however, that it would be almost, if not quite, impossible to raise this amount by private subscription, an appeal was made to the County Board, which at once responded as above. At another meeting, held July 9, 1866, the Board appropriated the sum of $4,469.63 to be paid to S. D. Wright, the contractor for the monument, and $3,200 of the county orders were afterward issued at the same meeting, to the said Wright, $3,000 payable May 1, 1867. At the meeting of the Board in November, 1866, $800 was appropriated for the purpose of completing the soldiers' monu- ment, and at the same time it was " Ordered, that Addison Burr, Esq., have the charge and care of the monument and grounds adjacent thereto, and that he be, and is hereby, authorized to take all necessary means, legal or otherwise, to protect the same from being marred or otherwise defaced. At the same time, July 4, 1867, was set as the day for the formal dedication of the same, committees appointed, and invitations ordered issued. About the same time, the monu- ment arrived, and was set up on the site chosen in the northeast portion of the court house square.
The whole cost of the monument, according to the report made by the committee appointed by the board to that body was $6,486.37, to which was added for evergreens and grading $70.70, making a total of $6,557.07. Of this amount, $1,319.57 was raised by private sub- scription, and the remainder, $5,237.50 was paid by the county through a tax ordered for that purpose, as stated heretofore.
The monument stands in the northeast corner of the court house square, and consists of a center square obelisk, of white marble, with base and sub-base, the whole surmounted by a sculptured eagle perched on a globe, and holding a laurel wreath in his beak. This central shaft is five feet square at the base, and twenty-six feet in height. On the east side, surrounded by a wreath, is the inscription :
" Dedicated to the memory of the brave soldiers of Grant County, who fell in defense of universal liberty, in the great rebellion of A. D. 1861. This marble contains their names, the many bloody battle-fields of the South contain their ashes. their memory is forever enshrined in the memory of their countrymen." Above this are cannon, flags and an anchor.
On the north side, is the following inscription :
" We hereby resolve that these honored dead shall not have died in vain ; that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth, and that the government of the people shall not perish from the earth."
Over this is the anchor of hope resting on the Bible, garlanded. On the west side, beneath an inverted sword, is the insciption :
