Civil War veterans will be remembered at a Memorial Day service at 10 a.m. Monday at Railroad Park. Prof. Ray Schuck and two ONU students located information about 80 vets from Ada and Liberty Township (see list below) who served in the Army between 1861-65.
A brick honoring each man has been inscribed with his name, rank, and unit. The bricks will be dedicated tomorrow morning. History Professor John Lomax will make remarks.
Several people have mentioned that they have relatives or know of individuals from here who served in the Civil War, but do not have a brick honoring the vet. See Dr. Lomax following the remembrance. He said, “Keep in mind that we will obtain bricks at cost only for the Civil War veterans that we can positively document as veterans from Ada or Liberty. We will follow up on any names that come our way and obtain bricks, if the names they mention prove out and if the person who mentions the name pays for the brick ($32.50).”
All are invited to honor the brave men of the U.S. Army who fought to preserve the Union and free a people.
