Footnote: According to the old newspaper reports the County Seat towns of Accomac and Eastville each wanted the monument but with a bid of $350 by the town of Parksley the Harmonson-West Camp, Confederate Veterans voted to have their monument placed there.  CURRENT STATUS: A public hearing for selling the statue and property was scheduled for August 10th, 2020, but was cancelled after research by the town's attorney revealed that Parksley does not own it. In mid-August vandals defaced the monument, and other locations around town, with slogans and profanity.

The Time Machine is a weekly feature I've enjoyed researching and compiling on The Pocomoke Public Eye since 2011.  I have fond memories of growing up in Pocomoke City and welcome reader contributions we can share about things you've read, remember, or were told relating to our Pocomoke/Eastern shore area...a sentence, a paragraph, or more all fine. Just email it.
