Loyal patriotic men from Batavia Township, Illinois, enlisted in the War for the Preservation of the Union from 1861 to 1865. A memorial to them was provided through the bequest of the late Captain and Mrs. Don Carlos Newton, who appointed Charles Husted More, Albro Bishop Prindle, and Elbert Henry Wolcott and charged them with its erection. It also bears the lines, "On fame's eternal camping ground Their silent tents are spread And glory guards with solemn round The bivouac of the dead," above an honor roll of soldiers.
