Derby Civil War monument offers chance to reflect
DERBY - Since it's Memorial Day weekend I thought I'd post a
photo of a war memorial monument that has graced the Green facing
Elizabeth Street for more than 125 years.
You can read more here about the history of the monument. It features a bronze statue of a Civil War soldier atop a granite pedestal.
Full disclosure: I drove down Elizabeth Street Saturday after covering a ceremony at the Storm Engine Company firehouse to dedicate a park on O'Sullivan's Island in memory of the one and only Edward J. Cotter, Jr.
It was raining pretty steadily so I rolled down the window and snapped photos from the driver's seat.
I plan to take better photos of the monument someday when it's not raining!
