ing, as the poet John M. Cooper, Esq., expressed it in his report of the dedication services in the Carlisle Volunteer. The contract for erecting the monuments was awarded to Mr. W. N. Meredith, of Mercersburg, for the sum of $500, the committee furnishing the limestone foundations. Hundreds have visited the Park since dedication day, and have uniformly expressed their gratification with the monuments, iron fences and improvements made by the committee with the funds at their command. Other items of historic interest are omitted here because they appear in the addresses. THE DEDICATION CEREMONIES. HE following account of the dedication ceremonies, &c., we cull in the main the Greencastle Press of August 6, 1885: UNVEILING AND DEDICATION. August 4, 1885, was indeed the red letter day for Mother Antrim. Never before in her history was there such an outpouring of her beauty and chivalry to honor and grace a · public occasion as that which congregated at Enoch Brown Park on Dedication Day. The two previous days had been stormy and foreboding. The long wished for rain had deluged the earth in torrents and many feared that the weather would be unfavorable for the ceremonies. But there never dawned a lovelier day for the occasion than last Tuesday. At an early hour a stream of visitors began to pour out over the hills to the Park until about 5,000 people had assembled on the historic field. The large monument on the site of the school house, which can be seen from afar, first attracted attention, and around it a large concourse of people were soon assembled. Then the beatiful monument of smaller proportions over the common grave of Schoolmaster Enoch Brown and ten scholars was next visited, and around it many lingered with deep and melancholy interest. Then the historic spring at the foot of the hill, a few yards off, drew the multitude, not only to gratify curiosity, but to slake their thirst, and thousands there partook of nature's cooling beverage, as did the scholars of Enoch Brown one hundred and twenty-one years ago. It was equal to the large demands, although one hundred and fifty gallons had been dipped out the previous evening after dusk. Shortly after 11 o'clock Rev. Cyrus Cort arrived with Poet Cooper and Historian Egle and daughter in his carriage, the morning train on which they came from Harrisburg having been delayed about half an hour. The meeting was called to order by Col. B. F. Winger, Chief Marshal. Mounting the base of the monument the Rev. Cort made a few preliminary remarks and then four little girls and nine boys, viz., Rose Winger, Libbie Seacrest, Sally Whitmore and Carrie Hawbecker, Paul Cort, Paul Sunners, Ambrose Cort, Ambrose Walck, Harry Fuss, Elmer Pentz, George Pentz, George Gorden and Willie Meredith, pulled the cords, the mantle of red, white and blue fell and the monument stood forth a thing of beauty and strength, the delight of all beholders. It is indeed a massive affair. On the top of four feet of solid masonry underneath the ground are nearly four feet of dressed limestone of immense proportions from Hawbecker's Williamson quarry. On the top of this limestone foundation, which is five feet square, is placed the granite base of the monument, four feet square and seventeen inches high, and weighing 4,600 pounds. Next comes the polished die or sub-base, three feet square and two feet high, on the four sides of which are engraved the inscriptions. On the top of this stands the shaft of the monument, two feet square at the base, ten feet high and tapering gracefully to a pyramidal apex. The shaft weighs 4,100 pounds. Enclosing the monument is a very substantial iron fence, fifteen feet square. The following are the inscriptions: On the East side: SACRED TO THE MEMORY OF SCHOOL-MASTER ENOCH |
