Raymond, New Hampshire

Civil War Soldier’s Monument Restoration Project

The Raymond Civil War Soldier’s Monument Today.

(bullet hole can be seen in the soldier’s right shoulder)

The Town of Raymond, NH approached Charles W. Canney Camp #5, SUVCW for assistance in raising funds for the restoration of their Civil War Monument. Camp #5 wholeheartedly agreed to assist with this endeavor.

Approximately 20 years ago, no one seems to know exactly when, some one shot the soldier on the monument. The bullet entered the upper right shoulder of the soldier. Over the years water has entered the statue and in the winter has frozen, causing damage to the antiquated monument. Charles W. Canney Camp #5 assisted in the raising of funds to restore this piece of history.

The funds were raised, the monument restored, and on Memorial Day, May 30, 2005 the newly restored monument was rededicated in front of a crowd of townspeople gathered around the monument.

Charles W. Canney Camp #5 wishes to thank all those who helped to make this possible.

The Raymond Monument was dedicated on June 21,1910

Rededicated: May 30, 2005
