    Description: 
    A standing figure of a fireman rests top a granite base with an inscription encircled by the image of a fire hose.

The fireman is dressed in the full firefighter's uniform, but instead of boots he wears shoes, a source of much controversy at the time.

Wollaston Cemetery. Architect Florence McAuliffe was chosen to do the design and Lewis White of West Quincy was selected to supply the granite. IAS files contain a copy of the Massachusetts Historical Commission Form C - Monuments questionnaire dated July 1, 1986.
