Title
Soldier's Monument - Woodstock Square Park Public - Erected 1909
Description
Four workmen stand next to the newly completed Soldier's Monument. One of the men is Antonio Zoia who erected the statue that had been carved of Barre and dark Quincy marble in Vermont. The statue was dedicated November 9, 1909. Zoia Monument Company is still in business in Woodstock today.
Two versions of this postcard are included in the Jim Keefe collection. The first, and original, version is by E. C. Kropp of Milwaukee who took the photo and produced a colorized postcard. The second postcard has A.S. Wright Pub. in place of EC Kropp. It has a color wash rather than being full-color. Copyright laws were not always followed at the time, but perhaps Wright did work with Kropp rather than "pirate" the card.
When it was erected, everyone called it the Soldier's Monument. It has other names: Civil War Statue and The Sentinel due to the fact that the Woodstock Sentinel newspaper used a drawing of it as their masthead.
