Students walking down Universi
ty Street on Saturday afternoon
could have taken a bullet to the chest
—had the Civil War reenactors in Pi
oneer Cemetery been firing their
1847 Springfield or 1853 Enfield ri
fles with real ammunition. Instead,
the soldiers of the 116th Pennsylva
nia Infantry fired blanks into the sky
as part of a 21-gun salute.
The soldiers, the Eugene unit of
the Northwest Council of Civil War
Reenacters, were playing a role in the
rededieation of the Civil War Veteran
Statue located in the center plot of
the Eugene Pioneer Cemetery.
Vandals broke off and stole the stat
ue’s head in December 2001. Local
artist David Miller sculpted a new head
out of blue marble from the same
quarry in Vermont where the statue’s
marble was originally quarried in
1904, and it was restored in February.
“It’s beautiful and different,” Eugene
Pioneer Cemetery Association mem
ber Quentin Holmes said. “The new
head is this era’s interpretation of what
a civil war soldier would look like. ”
EPCA member Ruth Lake Holmes
said while the vandalism made more
people aware of the statue, she is glad
it finally has been restored.
“It had stood there with no prob
lems for almost 100 years,” Ruth
Lake Holmes said. “It’s our center
piece, it’s our logo.”
Quentin Holmes read the rededi
cation proclamation, quoting Presi
dent Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg
Address. He said the statue is impor
tant to the community because it
recognizes the memory of those who
died during the war.
“It stands with dignity and grace,”
he said. “Our statue has been restored
due to the efforts of many people.”
The statue was originally funded by
the estate of John S. Covell, a Civil War
veteran from Michigan who later set
ded in the area. When he died in 1903,
his will left provisions to construct a
memorial in honor of other veterans.
Eugene Granite and Marble Works
founder Egbert G. Lake commis
sioned the statue. When the eight
ton, blue marble statue arrived in Eu
gene in a freight car, it was drawn to
the cemetery by an eight-horse team.
An inscription on the statue reads:
“Soldier rest / Thy warfare is o’er /
Sleep the sleep that knows no waking
/ Dream of battlefields pp piore.”
“John Covell and the Grand Army
of the Republic now belong to histo
ry,” Quentin Holmes said, adding
that Covell would be pleased that his
legacy, and that of other Civil War
Soldiers, will live on.
Kevin Burton, a reenactor in the
116th Pennsylvania Infantry, said
the salute was not intended to glorify
war, but to remember those who
fought for the country.
“War is hell,” Burton said, quoting
Civil War General William Sherman.
The cemetery was established in
1872 and its center plot was designat
ed for free burial of Civil War veter
ans who lived in the area. Fifty-one
veterans are buried there. In 1997, it
was listed as a historic site in the Na
tional Register of Historic Places.
The rededication imitated the orig
inal dedication that took place
Memorial Day of 1904. Soldiers wore
wool Union uniforms, which includ
ed a cap pouch, cartridge box, a bayo
net holder and canteens. After the
21-gun salute, a bugler played “Taps.”
“It’s a living and breathing place
— it’s not just a cemetery,” Holmes
said of the grounds.
