In Northern Jefferson County, Ohio, nestled on a little traveled County Road about three or four
miles east of Berholz, Ohio and only a few miles from Carroll County, sits an historical monument
that even natives of the these two rural counties know little about. The Mooretown Civil War
Monument has been sitting there on the banks of Yellow Creek for more than 100 years, but in
more recent history a few of her neighbors have taken an interest in restoring this significant
marker.
Commissioned and erected by Robert and Martha George in 1871 in memory of their son, Thomas, who lost his life during the Civil War, this memorial hosts a plaque paying homage to Thomas and other Ross Township citizens who lost their lives in America's quest to end slavery.
This page is dedicated to providing more information on the Mooretown Civil War Monument. You'll find here links to other pages highlighting the 150th Anniversary of the War between the States as well as updates to the progress of the restoration progress.
