    Remarks: 
    The sculpture was erected by Silas Baldwin, Sr., in honor of those who fought and those who died in the Civil War. A bronze relief bust of Lieutenant Frank Baldwin appears on the front of the upper base. Frank Baldwin died in 1862 at the age of 18 years in the Battle at Stone River. The sculpture was originally located on Old Lincoln Highway (in Elkhart), now the corner of Tyler and Main Streets. In August 1928, the sculpture was moved to its current site at the entrance of Rice Cemetery. Total cost of the memorial was $3,000, with $2,000 provided by Silas Baldwin, Sr. IAS files contain correspondence regarding the relocation of the sculpture.
