Type: Soldier Statue Description: "Marysville probably erected the first soldier monument in Kansas. It is the usual statue of a soldier, with his gun at "order arms," made of Vermont marble, mounted on a base of native stone about six feet high. It cost $1350, not including the labor of constructing the base. The money was raised by G. A. R. post No.9, by giving public entertainments. There is a tablet on each side for inscription, one only being used. The inscription is as follows: "An acknowledgment of the debt which mankind owes to the heroes who fought to maintain the integrity of our national Union, and preserve to the world a government founded upon liberty and equality." It is the purpose to use the other tablets in time, and a friend suggests for one: "God has been good to Liberty's nation".
