Remarks:
IAS files contain copies of Parks, Warren Wright, "The Mariemont Story, (Cincinnati, Ohio: Creative Writers & Pub., 1967, pg. 108-110), and Giglierano, Jeffery J., and Deborah A. Overmyer, "The Bicentennial Guide to Greater Cincinnati: A Portrait of Two Hundred Years," Cincinnati: Cincinnati Historical Society, 1988. The monument and the Carillon Tower, in Dale Park, were both given in memory of Mary Emery one of the founders of Mariemont.
Reportedly, while in Paris, a "Mr. Livingood" saw a clay model by the French sculptor done for the city of Paris. That statue was never ordered and Mr. Livingood was permitted to have the group made and shipped to Mariemont with the stipulation that an inscription be added, even though the piece was never made for Paris. The base of the statue was fabricated in Cincinnati. The work was unveiled and dedicated on the same day as the Carillon Tower, Nov. 16, 1929.
