The Soldiers and Sailors Monument, erected to honor those who served in the Civil War, is in Lakeview Cemetery. Designed by local artist John Barrow, it was dedicated on September 4, 1895. [For links to some photographs, go to the bottom of this page.]
Inside, on the east wall are two large stone plaques bearing the names of those who entered service from the Town of Skaneateles. On the west wall are three narrower plaques bearing the names of natives who enlisted elsewhere and the names of those who enlisted and resided elsewhere but subsequently became residents of Skaneateles.
Due to the difficulty of transcribing the names from the monument I have instead chosen to copy the list from pages 349 - 358 of Edmund Norman Leslie's Skaneateles -- History of Its Earliest Settlement and Reminiscences of Later Times, 1902.
In time I hope to check my list against the plaques themselves. There should be no discrepancy because as Leslie says on page 349:
Following is a record of the men who entered the volunteer service during the war of 1861-65 from the town of Skaneateles, together with the names of other natives of this tow n who enlisted elsewhere, and the names of present residents who enlisted and resided elsewhere during the war. The "Free Press" was furnished this list by E. N. Leslie of this village, who has been at great pains to make it as correct and accurate as possible.
This list of names was used for the inscription in the Soldiers' Monument, and was the only complete list in the town. It was begun at the commencement of the Civil War, by E. N. Leslie.
