The Civil War - Groveland's Part**
Twenty-one men were required to be sent by the town of Groveland to take part in the War of the Rebellion. The town meeting held in April of 1861 chose a committee to supply the soldiers called into active service with all the necessities, and the town paid them ten dollars a month. This committee was also called upon to provided for the families of the soldiers during their absence.
An enlistment of three years was rewarded by a $100 payment in 1862 and later $150.00. By 1864, the payment was $250. By 1865, 185 men were enlisted from the town. The cost to the town was $27,812.57. Grand Army records state that there were actually 209 men in service, with four of those being in the Navy. The balance were likely reenlistments.
A monument was erected in memory of the deceased soldiers, and dedicated in 1866. It was later removed to Riverview Cemetery and then moved back to Perry Park in 1928.
