IAS files contain a copy of the State Journal Register (Springfield, IL) July 24, 1992, which indicates the plaster bust was done by Ken Krumsick and Krumsick Memorials. The plaster model was shipped to Italy, where the full length portrait was carved by an unidentified firm. The piece was done to commemorate John F. Kennedy after his death. Kennedy had never been to Taylorsville.
