PUTNAM --- Exactly 100 years later, fittingly on Memorial Day, the Grove Street Monument was rededicated. Donald Steinbrick, one of the organizers, said dedicated committee members have been working for a year and a half to bring the monument back to life. John Macdonald, grandson of the Putnam mayor who dedicated the original monument, also spoke.
