40° 0.567′ N, 79° 4.706′ W. Marker is in Somerset, Pennsylvania, in Somerset County. Memorial is at the intersection of North Center Avenue (Pennsylvania Route 601) and East Union Street, on the right when traveling north on North Center Avenue. Touch for map. Marker is at or near this postal address: 111 E Union St, Somerset PA 15501, United States of America. Touch for directions.
After the Soldiers Monument was dedicated, it was found that a large number of names of Somerset county soldiers who were killed in the battle or who died during their term or service were not reported to the committee, and, as a matter of course their names do not appear on the monument. Since that time much labor has been expended in trying to collect these missing names, and so for additional names to the number 110 have been reported. It having been determined to have the shaft of the monument recast and these names placed thereon, a last effort is being made to secure the name of every Somerset county soldier who was killed or who died during the war for the Union.
