Soldier's Memorial in Coudersport, PA
Submitted by Barb Hyde, 2009
Click to open enlarged photo
Potter County's memorial to its veterans is in the courthouse square behind the courthouse.
The column for the memorial was raised on December 20, 1874. On the four sides of the base of the column are engraved the names of the soldiers who died in the Civil War, organized by township. The 318 names were carved by Joseph Schwartzenbach, the brewer from Germania, who was also a talented stonecutter.
In April of 1887, the statue of a Civil War soldier was placed on the top of the column to complete the monument.
The completed monument was dedicated on June 8, 1887.
More recently, the monument has been expanded to honor all veterans.
Four stone benches, World War I, World War II, Korea, and Vietnam, face the monument. Behind them is a low wall with a center stone that says
IN MEMORY OF THE VETERANS OF ALL WARS
The list of soldiers who died is a historic list, even though we know it is incomplete. The names of the soldiers inscribed on the base of the monument are:
