Davis Memorial, Memorial statue in Hiawatha, Kansas.
The Davis Memorial features white marble sculptures of John and Sarah Davis seated on stone benches within an enclosed structure at Mount Hope Cemetery.
Following Sarah Davis's death in 1930, John Davis invested over $200,000 to create this elaborate marble memorial, causing local controversy during the Great Depression.
The memorial includes eleven life-sized statues depicting the Davises at different stages of their lives, representing the progression of time and aging.
Visitors can access the memorial site throughout the year during daylight hours at Mount Hope Cemetery, located at North 8th Street in Hiawatha.
Each marble statue maintains precise details of the Davises' clothing and features, from Sarah's lace shawl to John's period-specific business attire.
