Dr. Noah Webster Yoder's 9 foot tall cylindrical shaped monument towers over the other markers dotting the hilly landscape at the Shanesville First Reformed Cemetery in Tuscarawas County, Ohio.
However, it was evident that the monument, erected to honor a Civil War veteran of the 51st Regiment, Company "G" O.V.I., had to be rescued soon from what would have been a disastrous fate of falling and crashing down to the ground.
The spotlight story in "The Bargain Hunters and Wooster Weekly News" published May 11, 2023 provides the details and a photograph of how this historic and unique monument was saved by Tim Foor and his wife Stacy Foor of Hallowed Ground Cemetery Preservation LLC.
