Jean Ianni, Linda Call and Phyllis Darling, all members of the Stafford Historical Society, gathered at the Stafford Rural Cemetary on Transit Road at 10 am on April 12, 2011 to observe the 150th Anniversary of the start of the Civil War. The members stood at the Civil War Monument ringing bells for 150 times to represent the number of years.
The monument is known as the Soldier's Monument and was erected in 1868 to honor the soldiers from Stafford. The monument is inscribed "Erected by the Town of Stafford in 1868, to the memory of the brave soldiers of our country who fell during the Great Rebellion".
Thirty three names are inscribed on the Soldier's Monument.
