Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 21, Number 14, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 10 November 1899 — Delphians Approve of Milroy Park. [ARTICLE]

Delphians Approve of Milroy Park.

Nearly all of our exchanges have mentioned, and all in commendation terms, the movement that has been started here to secure the old Milroy homstead for a publio park. In Delphi, where General Milroy lived before coming to Rensselaer, the Times reprints nearly all of John W. Pierce’s article from Thf Republican, with the following introductory paragraph. * The Ladies’ Literary olub of Rensselaer is fostering a most laudable project at the present time in their efforts to secure by popular subscription sufficient money to purchase the old homestead of Major General Robert H. Milroy in that city and convert it into a public park in honor of the I original owner. Everyone knows of the brave old warrior, Major Milroy, who used to be a familar figure in this city and county, and no doubt some of them would be only too willing to contribute to a fund whioh would have for its object the ‘ preservation of that noble old patriot’s name and record. >
