Bro. Sniper lived at 504 Prospect Avenue, not far from Schlosser Park, 400 Block of North Salina Street where his memorial was raised in 1906, twelve years after his death: Sniper Camp 66, Sons of Union Veterans, spontaneously organized a movement to raise a memorial to him. With the help of the Grand Army of the Republic, the Women’s Relief Corps, and many friends, the equestrian statue (the only one of its type in Syracuse) of the General and his horse, “Bill,” reviewing the troops was dedicated on Memorial Day 1905. Following a parade, the monument (completed by the German Company of New York City) was unveiled with civic ceremonies before a crowd estimated at 10,000 people. The General’s home at 504 Prospect Avenue had been purchased by Dr. Serafino F. Chiarulli in 1912. Most items of historical interest were reportedly given to the Onondaga Historical Society at that time. However, this was later discussed with Mr. Richard Wright, Director, who stated that no acquisition of this type was on record. Dr. Chiarulli died in 1932, but his son, Eugene, also a physician, continued to use the home as his office, having extensively remodeled the first floor in 1956. He recalled seeing a plaster bust of General Sniper in the attic and kindly allowed Dr. Peacher to see it on 15 Mar 1962. It was a good likeness of the general in uniform, although portions of the bus had broken off. In addition, there was a heavy metal base with a figure of Sniper in bas-relief which was used to hold a large plant in front of the house. There were also about 100 books strewn over the floor beneath the front windows of assorted Reports, Transcriptions, Manuals, &c.
