Located in the south central part of Chico Cemetery is a very nice Civil War monument comprised of a Civil War Union soldier standing on top of a marble and stone base. There's an inscription in front that reads:
ERECTED BY
HALLECK POST
No 19.G. A. R. & W. R. C.
IN MEMORY OF
OUR COMRADES
1861 - 1865
1910.
The left side of the marble base reads:
IN HONOR OF
THE BRAVE MEN
WHO
FROM THE FIRST
BORE A LOYAL PART
IN THE GREAT
CIVIL WAR
The right side of the marble base reads:
THESE HEROES ARE
DEAD
THEY DIED FOR
LIBERTY
THEY DIED FOR US
THEY ARE AT REST
THEY SLEEP IN THE
LAND THEY MADE FREE
Many rows of veterans graves stand in the background of this monument with the majority of them being from the Civil War. This is a beautifully-maintained cemetery with some beautiful headstones and worth the visit here.
