The statue at the head of Chillicothe’s Yoctangee Park, which was damaged by a traffic crash in December 2019, has been repaired and returned to its pedestal.
Although Richard Enderlin’s name appears on the pedestal, the soldier on the monument is actually not an image of Congressional Medal of Honoree Richard Enderlin, but represents the men who served with him.
It’s return on June 30th comes just in time to commemorate to that July 1st date that marks 158 years since Medal of Honor recipient Sergeant Richard Enderlin “voluntarily took a rifle and served as a soldier in the ranks during the first and second days of the battle (Gettysburg). Voluntarily and at his own imminent peril went into the enemy’s lines at night and, under a sharp fire, rescued a wounded comrade.”
Clint Boggs of the Chillicothe Parks and Recreation said- “We’re glad to have Mr. Enderlin back home at the head of Yoctangee Park. The Parks Dept. would like to thank the City Engineering Dept., Safety Service Dept. for their assistance and Edgewater StoneWorks for their efforts in repairing and returning Sergeant Enderlin.”
