Lest We Forget Our Boys of 1861-1865


Many older local cemeteries in northern states are populated with this statue or a variation. Civil War era veterans are often buried close to their local version of this monument. Several of these statues were placed in cemeteries and dedicated in the 1920s or earlier. 


This particular soldier monument rests on a granite base and decorated with four GAR markers and tiny US flags at its corners.
