Title
The Soldiers' Monument, Greenlawn Cemetery, Portsmouth, Ohio
Description
Colorized image of Soldiers' Monument in Greenlawn Cemetery. Within the new cemetery in Portsmouth in the mid to late 1800's, land was set aside after the War of the Rebellion due to there being no place to bury soldiers, known today as Soldier Circle. On May 30, 1869 the first public service was held in the cemetery, and the Ladies Aid Society purchased the Civil War Union Soldier Monument to be placed there.
