Ganiere Statue in
Webster City, Iowa
This bronze statue by George E. Ganiere of Chicago stands by
entrance of the Webster City High School. In 1913
Alexander Groves presented it to the school to memorialize his son
Harry, a member of the class of 1895.
The seven foot, four-inch statue, which depicts President Lincoln holding
an excerpt from the Second Inaugural Address, features a base of
verdantique marble. Ganiere studied under Loredo Taft and did
the Lincoln statue in Burlington, Wisconsin, which was dedicated
the same year as this one.
