Official Description: Full-length male figure standing atop a two-tiered base. He is dressed in military uniform and holds the remains of a rifle in his hands in front of his chest. A bayonet is in a sheath at his proper left side.
There are two inscriptions. On front: "To the memory of our fallen soldiers, 1861 - 1865." And back: "To the memory of our fallen soldiers of the Civil War 1861 - 1865. Donated by Mr. E.A. Clousnitzer."
The statue appears to be in good condition, but uncertain about the impact of daily automobile exhaust.
