Remarks:
Donations for the sculpture were collected from the parish during 1917 and 1918, with $2,300 raised. The Grogg Cement Block Company (Auburn, Indiana) fabricated the cross. It is uncertain where the figure of Christ was obtained. The right shoulder of the figure was damaged in transport and had to be repaired before it was attached to the cross. Dedication mass for the sculpture was on All Soul's Day, 1918. The sculpture was sandblasted, restuccoed, and sealed in 1992.
