Sends $1.00 to Have Brother’s Name Put on Soldiers’ Monument.
Mrs. Sparling, of DeMotte, Monday sent to the Milroy Soldiers’ Monument Committee through E. L. 'Clark, $1 to be applied to the monument fund and to provide for the name of her brother Thomas E. Antrim on the monument. He served in both the 20th and 151st Indiana regiments. Mrs. Hettie Blankenbaker Villiers, now of Okomulgee, Okla., also sent $1 toward the fund. E. L. Clark has compiled a list of the names of all soldiers who enlisted from Jasper county and this list will be published shortly In the Republican. There are upwards of 600 names and it will cost about $1 each to get these names on the monument, so relatives of soldiers should send liberal contributions. Mr. Clark has been a long time on this work and has performed it very exactingly, but it has been a great task and there may have been some errors. Letters may be addressed to him on the subject, and full information should be given about the soldiers under discussion, so that the reference may be looked up.
