In a volume just off the . press
entitled "North Carolina's Confed -
erate Moumments and Memorials,
by Mrs. S. L. Smith, historian
1932-33 of the N. C. United Daugh-
ters of the Confederacy, there is
this account of Franklin's Con-
federate monument by the late W. ' l""!rer

monument, know how it came
there, or the names of those wlwse
erected it.
i The Xiarti county chapter of j
the U. I). C,"Hr. requested ' that
the record be published. The mon
ument square is jiow in the care
of the chapter. Major H. P. Ran
kin was the father of Miss Lily
Rankin, present secretary of the
locat cnapter ana tuts account was
taken from the presentation ad -
dress of Mr. .-Curtis. teacher and
scholar, or..e time editor of the
Franklin Press. ' .
"The idea of erecting a monu
ment to the. memory of Macon
County Veterans was f(irst conceiv
ed by Major H. P. Rankin. He has
labored with persistency and zeal
in the enterprise ever" since its in
auguration, and deserves credit and
honor for what has been accom
plished. "On November 26, 1903, at the
Major's call a number of veterans
met and organized the Macon
County Monument Association. He
was elected President and W. A
Curtis, secretary-treasurer. By an
Act of the General Assembly' in
1907 the Association was incor
porated and an act of the same
body passed in 1909 authorized the
Board of County Commissioners to
donate a plat of land in the Pub
lic Square 63 by 83 feet to the
Association on which to erect the
monument
, Description of the Monument :
It consists of '27 stones; is 25
feet high above the concrete foun
dation, and built of fine Georgia
marble. The tix-foot statue was
made in. Italy of fine Italian mar
ble, and beautiful as a work of art
in its simplicity of form and pose.
It alone cost $600.00. The entire
weight of monument is about 35,
000 pounds and was erected by the
McNeel Marble Co., of Marietta,
,Ga., at a cost of $1,650. (I believe
the total cost was $2,500 more).
This square has , since been en
closed by a solid iron railing with
a gate bearing the name plate,
"Rankin Square", and a concrete
walk to the front - of . -the monu
ment. This was done- by popular
subscription."
Mr. Curtis concluded his presen
tation with these words:
"In behalf of the Charles L.
Robinson Camp No. 47, United
Confederate Veteran? and the Ma
con County Monument Association,
I have the honor to present to
the citizens of Macon Couny this,
handsome monument, and I com
mend it to the ladies and sons and
daughters of the Confederate Vet
erans to be kept in order perpet
ually." ' Erected in 1909
