There was inaugurated in Monroe yesterday a plan to erect a
monument to the Union county boys who entered the service during the war. It is
proposed that the names of the Union county men who have died for their
country, either in action or from disease, shall be chiseled upon the monument.
It was suggested that the monument be placed on the south side of the
courthouse. It was pointed out that it is much better to erect the monument now
in order that the men in whose honor it is placed may see and know that the
people of Union county who remained at home love and honor them for the
sacrifices and risks they have made for us than to leave it for future generations.
The plan met with the approval of a number of the business men. Mr. R.A. Morrow
expressed himself as being willing to give liberally toward the work.
