A Monument to the Dead of Co. E, 4th Regiment New Hampshire Vols.

5/26/2023

0 Comments

 
In Manchester, New Hampshire's Pine Grove Cemetery stands a Civil War monument, one that is dedicated to those men of Company E, 4th New Hampshire Volunteers, who were killed or died as a result of their service during the Civil War.
Picture
The front of the monument shows signs that a plaque was once attached there, though it is unclear (by me) what was inscribed upon it. Being the same size as the one attached on the back of the monument - did it become dislodged from the front, and was then reattached on the opposite side?

Pittsfield, NH Civil War Memorial

1/1/2020

1 Comment

 
In Pittsfield, New Hampshire's Floral Park Cemetery, there is a memorial stone, engraved with the names of the soldiers from this town who never returned home from the Civil War. It was erected by the Capt Asa W. Bartlett Camp, No. 39, Sons of Veterans.

Using Ayling's Revised Register and the History of Pittsfield, I've added the soldier's unit and cause of death to their memorial.
