HISTORY OF GRANT COUNTY.

"Ye dead heroes,

With mournful pride shall tell,
When many a vanquished age hath flown,
The story how ye fell;
Nor wreck, nor change, nor winter's blight,
Nor time's remorseless doom,
Sall mar one ray of glory's light
That gilds your deathless tomb."

In the name of the people of Grant County, who have erected this marble pile in honor of

their services and in commemoration of their death; in the name of the State of Wisconsin,
whose sons they were; in the name of our country, for whose preservation they fought and died,
and whose gratitude is all thier earthly reward;
and in the name of the Great Creator of the Universe,to whom all hearts, nations and people of right belong,
and to whom only the greatness of their sacrifices is full known,
we dedicate this monument to the memory of those
whose names are inscribed thereon.

At the close of Gov. FAIRCHILD's address, the dedication ceremony took place. A company of the Grand Army of the Republic, under the command of Sergt. Maj. J. ALFORD, with reversed arms, and bearing the drooping banner of the Twenty-fifth, which some of them had borne on the bloody field, marched slowly around the monument. An ode composed for the funeral salute of musketry, after which the services closed with an appropriate and touching honor as Chaplain of the Seventh Wisconsin, in the Iron Brigade.

Previous to the dedication, Contractor WRIGHT had sent one of his workmen from Whitewater, who added several names to the long list already inscribed on the roll of honor.
