subject as it is to the ofttimes unregulated criticism which 
usually assails statuary memorials. 
The memorial fountain shown on this page, erected in 
Upper Sandusky, O., to the memory of the late Samuel W. 
Stevens, by his daughter, now a resident 6f Detroit, Mich., 
speaks for itself through the illustrations and sectional 
views, the latter giving the principal dimensions. Over all 
it is 11 ft. 2 in. by 13 ft. 7 in., with a total height of 15 ft. 
6 in. It is constructed of granite on the Doric order of 
architecture, with bronze fountain fixtures, and in propor- 
tions and classic decoration it is entitled to rank as a vaJ- 
uable addition to Sandusky’s municipal monuments. It 
occupies a prominent location on the street line in front 
of the entrance to the Court House. The inscription on the 
panel reads: 
To the cherished memory of 
Samuel W. Stevens 
A Sturdy Pioneer and Honorable Citizen of 
Wyandot County 
This fountain is affectionately dedicated 
By his daughter Laura 
A. D. MCMVII. 
The design is as convenient and practical as it is handsome, 
the canopy over the drinking basin being an especially happy 
arrangement, furnishing both shade and shelter'. The columns, 
the anthemions on the corners and by the other decora- 
tions have been carefully and skillfully executed. 
The material of the memorial is of Barre granite, with 
bronze fittings and was erected by the Lloyd Brothers Co., 
Toledo, O., the contractors for the structure.
