Editor The Chronicle,Dear Sir: —THE FUNDSome weeks ago there appeared in the columns of The Times, an article relating to the erection of a monument in Warren in honor of the Company I, boys of Warren, who lost their lives in over-seas duty.It seems commendable indeed that all the boys of not only Warren, but Warren County as well be remembered in this connection, for the boys from out of town “even though not members of Co. I” were not less loyal to the colors than the little handfull who “through convenience as well as loyalty” could consistently attend the meetings, which would have been a comparative burden to those living outside, wrho were equally patriotic; even though reached through a draft.Would it not be a Glory to those outside Company I to know that they had not been forgotten in this connection and would the fact of recognition detract in any manner from the glory of the members of Company I?Is it not a fact that the honors bestowed upon “other worthies is one of the best evidences of our ownvalue?It occurs to the writer that “honor to whom honor is due” instead of a few to whom it is due, is a good indication of Democracy, nor is that all, it seems a worthy recognition of those who were not wanting at a time when genuine patriotism was sought, and as it was not found wanting in the trying hour, the fact should not be prematurely forgotten, or over looked; neither by members of Co. I, nor by any citizen who enjoys the protection of The Stars and Stripes of the United States of America; whether enrolled with our Borough hero’s or not.With favors to none and charity to all, I amYours Very TrulyJOHN B.
