More than 300 turn out to dedicate monument


A monument new to Fountain Circle was commissioned in 1947 by Eaton Corporation to renowned artist Marshall Fredericks. Newly refurbished by Patton Monument with help from Keystone Monuments in Georgia, the monument not only commemorates the five Eaton Corporation employees killed in action but now bears the names of 44 other Marshall citizens who died during WWII, Vietnam and Korea. Here Joe Zblewski reads a poem while Marshall Middle School students honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice. See more on local Veteran's Day observances in the Nov. 14 Ad-Visor and the Nov. 17 Chronicle.
