JERRY HOWARD WRITES
ABOUT MOVING THE
GEN. O’NEILL MONUMENT
Omaha, Nebr., August 18, 1924.
To the Editor of The Frontier, O’Neill,
Nebraska:
Dear Sir: I entreat your indulgence
for space to show the difference be
tween an “Irish Woman’s Society” and
that of “General John O’Neill’s As
sociation” in your city.
These noble women set out to erect
a monument, in Washington, D. C., to
mnv'morate services of Nuns in the
Civil War. It cost $50,000 and is now
completed.
September 20th has been chosen as
the date for the unveiling of the monu
ment, which is inscribed “Nuns of the
Battlefield” and which will be one of
the most touching of many memorials
that dot the National Capital. Cardi
nal O’Connell will deliver the address.
The error which I made in O’Neill
City wa3 that I did not explain my
mission to tlhe women. I am fully
con . .'n ett that had I done so General
John O’Neill’s remains and monument
The
Best Way
/
<§)
The best way to get ahead financi
ally is to save money today, tomorrow
and every day.
I’ut it in a savings bank, where it
earns interest and, one of these fine
mornings, an opportunity for invest
mant will present itself, and you’ll be
prepai ed.
Join the large number of depositors
who are regular savers at our bank.
We Pay 5% On Savings.
<§>
The Nebraska State paijk
would, by this time, be transferred to
the city he founded and be ready for
re-dedication September 20th, as was
intended.
September 20th is the anniversary
of the martyrdom of Robert Emmet.
The day would have a historic and
patriotic significence from Dublin to
Washington, thence to O’Neill.
Everything is revealed by time, and
whosoever is obstructing this national
project of transferring the mortal re
mains of the hero of the Battle of
Ridgeway, and the monument erected
to his memory from Omaha to O’Neill,
the city established by this Irish mar
tyr patriot, will be known and held up
to public ridicule and scorn of the
entire Irish Race. •
The men who are true to Ireland are
our pride, as they are our shame when
they are false to it. They are true
for the most part and with great
sacrifice to themselves, they respond
with eagerness.
General John O'Neill was ever
ready to draw his sword in the cause
of freedom, and responded in every
way possible to elevate his people—
Thiggtn—thu.
Yours truly,
JERRY HOWARD.
