Mrs. Leota M. Jones Subscribes To Soldiers’ Monument Fund.

In sending aid to the Milroy Soldiers’ monument fund, Mrs. Leota M. Jones, mother of C. S. Chamberlin, city water and light superintendent, writes to Mrs. Thompson from " her home in Chicago as f6l lows: “Please accept my small offering for the Milroy monument. I am so glad our dear old town will thus honor one so worthy. As I write, my mind goes back to my childhood days. I see Mr. Milroy (he was then) with his daughter Ella and I, one on each side, as he carried us at arms length across the bridge, then gave us a joyful play hour at his home. You remember my dear brother-in-law, Caleb C. Hopkins, went out to the service, with him, but his grave is among the unknown and our mother raised the two children he left, Lettie and Caly. I will bo so proud to witness the unveiling. I love our dear old home place and so often think of you in connection with my mother and I honor you for your part in bringing this matter about.”
