The other three sides were inscribed with the names of the following Raymond men who served during the Civil War (note: the inscriptions were not in alphabetical order by surname, they are listed as such here to aid in finding a soldier's name).

Over the years, the monument had been damaged and was in need of repairs. With the assistance of the Charles Canney Camp #5, the town had raised the funds needed to restore their Civil War monument. On Memorial Day, 2005, the rededication ceremony took place.
