Raymond, NH Civil War Soldier's Monument Restoration Project
The Town of Raymond, NH approached Charles W. Canney Camp #5, SUVCW for assistance in raising funds for the restoration of their Civil War Monument. Camp #5 wholeheartedly agreed to assist with this endeavor.
Approximately 20 years ago, no one seems to know exactly when, someone shot the soldier on the monument. The bullet entered the upper right shoulder of the soldier. Over the years, water had entered the statue and in the winter had frozen, causing damage to the antiquated monument. Charles W. Canney Camp #5 assisted in the raising of funds to restore this piece of history.
The funds were raised, the monument restored, and on Memorial Day, May 30, 2005, the newly restored monument was rededicated in front of a crowd of townspeople gathered around the monument.
Charles W. Canney Camp #5 wishes to thank all those who helped to make this possible.
