. THE CONFEDERATE MONUMENT
The Splendid Specimen of the Sculp- 1
tor's Art Fashioned from Beautiful
Lancaster County Granite
Which Now Adorns
Court House
Square.
1 ( The handsome Confederate
2 monument erected on the court 1
house square by the women of i
- Lancaster county received its I
i! finishing touches yesterday at
t the hands of the faithful and ef- ;
11 ficient contractors, Messrs Young ,
. and Sassi, of Stoneboro. It is |
- indeed a stately and imposing
- monumental tribute to the valor
and heroism of the Confederate
- soldiers of Lancaster county. *
The workmanship appears to be
t perfect and the proportions har- J
\ moniously symmetrical.
1 <*r The monument is of granite.
from the quarry of the Southern ,
Granite company, at Stoneboro,
this county, and consists of three
bases, the bottom one being 10
feet square, pedestal, die, cap. ||
i 1 flagstone, second cap surmount1
ed by the statue of a Confeder-:
' ate soldier with in in
*-?* ? !
" standing: at parade rest. The
statue is seven feet high and |
D faces the east. The entire height l(
5 of the monument is a fraction (
1 over thirty feet. The sculptural (
' work was done by a most skilled >
and experienced Italian sculptor. <
- Mr.Comi, assisted by two others, t
y The following inscriptions ap- <
, pear on the highly polished die: \
East side- "Worthy, the Con- [
federate soldiers to be hallowed 11
and held in tender remembrance. \
Worthy, the fadeless fame which ^
1 Lancaster soldiers won in de- 1
1 lending the he nor of the South, 1 c
the rights of the States, {he lib-1
erties of the people, the sentiments
of the S<nith. the princi-! \
pies of the Union, as they were, r
handed down to them by the |
, .athersof our common country." \
. On the pedestal just beneath the
. above appear in large raised let- i
tors: "Our Confederate Sol-L
diers." j<
f North side "No country had v
more loyal suns, no cause nobler ^
champions, r.o people bolder de- r
fenders, n<> principle truer mar- x
tyrs." l a
West side "Erected by the wo- v
men of Lancaster county. A. D. is
1900, under a /spices L?> caster .
(Chapter, U. D. <C." L
South side?"Cod holds the r
scales, of justice. He will meas-1
ure praise a:."; blame; and the .j\
South will stand the verdict, j
and will stand it without shame." .
On all four .-ides of the second
cap are the years "18(51-1865" 1
in large figures, just above them ^
being in large raised letters: c
"C. S. A." '
The cost of ihe monument is ^
1 ab**it $3,000. The money, as is I
well known, was raised by the r
'loyal and patriotic Daughters '
[through long* years of arduous I
; effort. Too much cannot be a
said in praise of the women of {
Lancaster for their grand and ?
noble work in perpetuating in ^
stone the memory of the coun- a
ty's brave Confederate soldiers. .e
vjl We are not advised as to when s
the monument will be unveiled. ']
but the ceremonies will likely be 1
