Erected May 30th, 1907 by the Woman's Relief Corps No. 14 and the General J.L.Reno Post No. 47, this is a large stone monument with a bronze statue of a union soldier atop, bearing a sword and a flag. It was dedicated to all their departed comrades of the Civil War. In front of the monument, to the east, are the graves and headstones of many civil war veterans.
Founded in 1888, Greenwood Memorial Terrace Cemetery is on North Government Way, at number 211. It is one of seven community owned cemeteries which are a part of the Fairmount Memorial Association. 151 acres in size, 85 of those have been developed to date, leaving it substantial room yet for further expansion.
The cemetery is the resting place of many other veterans, including those of the Spanish-American War, two Medal of Honor recipients, and several of Spokane's pioneers, including the real founder of the city, James N. Glover.
