" Civil War Monument and Streets
A Well-Known Landmark
By Walter H. Marx
Fitting it is to die on behalf of one's country. - Horace, Odes 111. 2
As Memorial Day was founded in 1868 to honor the dead of the Civil War, it is entirely appropriate this week to focus on JP's most familiar landmark, the Monument at the intersection of South and Centre Streets. Officially it is the Soldier's Monument in West Roxbury, since our area was part of Norfolk County. "
