The Custer Monument.
the hero, came from New York to un-
veil the statue.
The ceremony attracted to Monroe
a throng that taxed the accommoda-
tions of the town. It included many
veterans of the Civil war, especially
the survivors of the Third Cavalry di
vision which Custer commanded in
that conflict. There were also detach-
ments of the Michigan National Guard
and hundreds of civilians from all
parts of the state.
Ceremony Is Impressive.
Otto Kirchner, vice chairman of the
local committee, presided over the ex
ercises, which were opened with an
invocation by Rt. Rev. John S. Foley;
bishop of Detroit. The report of the
monument commission was read by
Ool. George G. Briggs, chairman, and
then the sculptor, Edward C. Potter
of Greenwich, Conn., made brief re-
marks on his work.
Mrs. Custer now stepped forward,
and pulling the cord of the flag which
draped the statue, unveiled the figure
of her husband. As Old Glory slipped
down from the figures of man and
horse, a band struck up the strains
of "The Star Spangled Ranner," and
tie First battery, Field artillery, M.
N. G., fired a 17-gun salute. The great
crowd cheered and cheered again, and
the tears trickled down the face of
the aged widow of the man who had
devoted his young manhood to saving
his country, and had died fighting its
savage enemies * on the Little Big
Horn.
Taft and Smith Speak.
When the tumult had subsided,
President William H. Taft was Intro-
duced and was given an ovation. He
spoke briefly, but feelingly, of the
man who was being honored, and of
his inestimable services to the country
and devotion to duty.
The oration of the day, delivered by
Senator William Alden Smith, was
next on the program. This was fol-
lowed by remarks by Maj. Gen. D.
McM. Gregg, commander of the Sec-
ond division, Cavalry corps, Army of
the Potomac, and Brig. Gen. Edward
W. Whltaker, who was acting assist-
ant inspector general and chief of
staff under Custer, at the close of the
war. A poem by Will Carleton, writ-
ten for the occasion, came next.
Gov. Fred M. Warner made the for
mal presentation of the statue, the re-
sponse being by Jacob Martin, mayor
of Monroe, after which the band
pla>c4 "America."
Laurel Wreaths for the Hero.
Then came one of the prettiest
features of the program. William O.
Lee, president of the Michigan Cav-
alry association stepped forward
bearing in his arms a number
of laurel wreaths, and as he laid them
at the base of the monument, a chorus
of 75 voices sang "The Old Brigade."
1\he ceremonies came to an end with
a benediction pronounced by Rt. Rev
Charles D. Williams, bishop of Mich-
igan.
The Custer monument stands in the
public square of Monroe, close to the
Presbyterian church, in which the
