Foundation for World War Monument in Winton is Begun, Aug. 24, 1923

Foundation Is Started for Memorial Marker . . . Stone Marker and Bronze Tablet Will be Unveiled Some Time in September

Although in number of participants a small affair, the spirit of the occasion was there, when on last Friday afternoon the foundation for the marker to be erected on the courthouse lawn at Winton was laid. The brief ceremony or act of laying the first bricks for the foundation was sponsored by Mrs. R.C. Bridger who has been working faithfully for the marker public fund.

With young William Shaw driving his pet pony, drawing a cart filled with several Winston boys and girls, all of whom carried United States flags, the procession carrying the foundation bricks passed down the Main street of Winton Friday afternoon about 5 o’clock. Behind the pony and cart came warner Hudgins Lassiter pulling another small cart in which the bricks were loaded. Fred Wilson Liverman was in the vanguard with the drum, beating it lustily as those on foot marched by the time.

Thomas Livermore was flag bearer for the procession and little Annie Hudgins rode in the cart dressed as Miss Columbia. Others in the group were James Newsome, Stanley Wall, Edward Hoggard and Alex Eley, to whom the little pony belonged.

They turned the corner at John Northcott’s home, marched to the courthouse lawn and deposited the bricks, which mark the first signs of the stone and tablet to be erected there.

Approximately $400 was in sight last Friday when the bricks for the foundation were laid, the amount necessary to pay for the monument being $500. Mrs. Bridger spent part of last week in personal visits to homes of the county, soliciting funds for the marker. The stone is ready for shipment and awaits the arrival of the bronze tablet, upon which will be carved the names of the Hertford County boys who died while in military service during the World War.

Mrs. Bridger says she hopes to have the stone and tablet here some time about the first or second weeks in September, and that the public exercises attendant upon the unveiling will be held just as soon as it is it is erected. Announcement will be made on some later date.
