The Beardsley Memorial

The Memorial was commissioned by Albert Beardsley in 1914 to honor his late uncle, Doctor Havilah Beardsley, founder of the city of Elkhart. E. Hill Turnock designed the memorial near the site of Havilah’s original mills on the Saint Joseph River. The main figure and tablet were sculpted from bronze, while the base and foundation is Georgian marble.
