Says the Jackson Citizen : At the grave of ex-Gov. E. B. Winans, at the village of Hamburg, last week, was erected a massive and imposing monument of Barre granite The monument is of modest design, but large and solid, typifying the character of the jreat man at whose grave it stands. It is composed of a huge block of rockEaoed granite or die, resting on a base of the same material, though of larger dimensions. On the face of the die, in large, flnely polished letters in relief, is the word "Winans," and at one end of the die appears the letter "W" also in relief. At the head of the grave of the exgovernor was also placed a finely ent Barre granite marking stone. It contained the date of birth and death of Gov. Winans. The monument and marking stone together make a symmetrical and imposing appearance. The weight of the monument is three and a half tons. It was placed in the Winans lot in the pretty village cemetery and is greatly admired by the family of the late ex-governor and all who have seen it.
