The statue that sits atop the memorial in Spearfish was recently repaired by a Nebraska-based conservation services company. The white zinc statue is of a soldier at parade rest and has a rifle at his feet.

Mayda Jensen with Jensen Conservation Services Inc. reattached and fixed the broken parts of the statue, with the material used needing roughly two days to cure. The work also included sanding and covering some surface damage with acrylic coating.

The Black Hills Pioneer ( ) reports the memorial has the year 1900 written on its foundation and was likely erected that year. It was last vandalized in 2012.
