On October 13, 1894 the Evergreen Cemetery Board of Trustees resolved to construct the Soldiers Monument in honor of all soldiers who fought for our country. They decided to solicit subscriptions (donations) to pay for the monument. The monument was dedicated at a large public ceremony on Memorial Day 1898.
