Centreville Veterans Monument Rededication
March to the Sea Camp #135 of the Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War to extend an invitation for you to attend a re-dedication ceremony for the Grand Army of the Republic monument sited at the Prairie River Cemetery in Centreville.
The monument was erected circa 1896 in honor of local men who served in the War of the Rebellion in 1861 - 1865 and for those who served in Mexico in Company E of the 15th Infantry under Captain I.D. Toll. Some time after the turn of the century, as a result of either an accident or act of vandalism approximately 15 inches of the soldier’s rifle barrel was broken off. Unfortunately, repairs were not made at the time and the broken piece has been lost or discarded.
In 2007, March to the Sea Camp #135 of the Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War took responsibility for the restoration of this monument. Through funds raised from both private and public sources, sculptors were retained and the monument has now been restored to its original glory.
More information can be obtained from Chuck Worley, 68341 Crooked Creek Rd., White Pigeon, MI 49099, and telephone at 269-506-1886 or by email at worleyc@myrural.com
