Inscription. "Your monument is a magnificent structure. It is a monument that speaks out in eloquence to every man that bore arms in defense of his country. It was not the wonder that a million men sprang to save the union... but that they melted away and drifted back into good citizens. That is why we erect monuments to them".
(On the occasion of the dedication of the Soldiers Monument, located at the north end of Main Street).
... at Dayton July 30 1884
