    3. Carolyn, Yes, it is part of the Soldiers' and Sailors' Memorial in front of the courthouse. This memorial includes all veterans known to those who were responsible for organizing the completion of the monument in 1906. The vast majority of these are Civil War, but there is a panel or two for Revolutionary War veterans. This site has wonderful pictures of the Bellefonte area, and includes one of the monument here: http://www.bellefontearts.org/Smith_pages/Smith_diamond.htm Everybody should look at that site and enjoy some of the old Bellefonte photos there. Some of them are rather rare and quite amazing. I don't know of a list for this monument online. The Centre County Library in Bellefonte may have such a list; it seems to me that Joyce Adgate mentioned it one time, but Joyce can correct me if I'm wrong about that. It is also quite possible that the list was published in the newspapers around the time the monument was dedicated in 1906, either as a keepsake or in the process of gathering names, to notify the public of what the committee had, and to solicit additional names to make sure that there was a complete list. There is also a monument to the Revolutionary War veterans of Penns Valley area who are interred in the Stover Cemetery at the Stover Cemetery in Haines Township. This cemetery probably contains the highest percentage of known Revolutionary War veterans among its inhabitants of any cemetery in Centre County.

    3. I should add that for a complete list of all currently known Centre County Revolutionary War veterans, the work of Nancy Stover, available in both book and CD-ROM, on the American Revolution Patriots of Centre County, is an extremely valuable resource.
