The monument's creation was repeatedly postponed, until 1912 when it was decided that it should be used to commemorate soldiers from North Andover who fought in the Civil War and other wars.

It is possible that the committee wanted their statue to be unique, whilst basing a design on an existing monument would have been more cost-effective.
