Other Friends Send Assistance For Erection of the Monument \

John W. Walker, once the court reporter for the Jasper-Newton circuit, and one of the most genuinely popular young men who ever lived in Rensselaer, now ofllcial reporter of the Second Judicial District of Arizona, enclosed a $5 bill and wrote as follows from Tombstone: “I am Just in receipt of your letter asking for aid to the Monument Fund, and I take much pleasure in enclosing herein mjr small contribution to so worthy a cause, and in so doing, express my regret that the amount is not many times what it is. While Rensselaer is not my native city, I take more genuine pleasure in her success than that of my town. I know the present enterprise will be a succeed? for with such at head aB this has, failure or partial success is Impossible. Again wishing the enterprise success, and thanking you for the opportunity td contribute to so worthy a cause, I am, very truly, .John W.. Walker.” Mrs. M. L. McDonald sends $2 from LaCrosse, saying: “Please accept my small offering, wishingyou great success in the splendid effort you are making. I had many friends in the great struggle." Mrs. A. C. Anderson writes from Hansboro, N. Dak., sending $1 to insure that the name of her father, William H. Sharp, be placed on the monument. She states that he enlisted in Rensselaer and that Joshua Healey was his colonel, in the 151st Indiaha regiment. ' The list of names which E. L. Clark, who was of Co. G of the 9th, has prepared, consists of more than 600 soldiers who went out from Jasper county. The list has been placed in type by the Republican and will be published in a few days. While lftr. Clark hijs searched the records thoroughly and has classifled the soldiers according to the regiment or regiments, all in alphabetical order, it is not improbable that some mistakes or omissions have been made. It is hoped to get the list entirely correct and to this end it is requested that when the list is published errors be corrected and omitted names be sent to E. L. Clark. As it will cost approximately $1 for each name engraved on the monument friends and relatives are urged to send at least this much without delay. If sufficient money cannot be raised to place all the names on the monument, the names of those that are paid for only, will be place don it. Contributions can be sent to Mrs. Mary E. Thompson or to the Mllroy, Monument Committee.
