Adams County Peace Monument - Honor Rolls

The Adams County Peace Monument Honor Rolls preserve the names of local veterans from multiple American wars and dedicate the memorial to both soldier heroes and the women of the nation. Small plaques identify Thomas Archibold, a Pennsylvania private in Captain Bell’s Company during the Revolutionary War, James Ball, a sergeant in Colonel Bakers Maryland regiment during the Revolutionary War, George Emery, a captain in Colonel Smallwoods regiment during the Revolutionary War, and William Shepherd of Adams County in the War of 1812. The large panels record extensive honor rolls for Adams County service in 1861–1865, listing hundreds of individuals by name, and also include separate rosters for the Spanish American War, the Mexican War, and the War of 1812. On the obverse, the memorial is dedicated to the glory of the country and in loving memory of its soldier heroes, and it also pays tribute to the women of the nation for their courage, devotion, and sacrifice.
