There is an interesting story behind this monument. The deceased, H.S. Tavshanjian, was an Armenian rug importer who was murdered in Union Square, NYC ,by a member of the Hunchakist, an Armenian society who was trying to extort money from wealthy Armenians in this country to send back home. Tavshanjian and his family were threatened to pay $5,000 or else. Tavshanjian was quoted as saying that he would prefer to be killed than to give money to a cause that would end up in murder of more of his countryman. At the time of his assaination, he was accompanied by a Miss Trixie Jennery, a dancer who was withing two feet of the victim when the shots were fired. He had two little girls, ages 5 and 3, that he left behind.
