Additional commentary.
1. The presentation of the tablet...
A Three Wars Celebration was held in Steubenville to honor Revolutionary War, Civil War and Spanish-American War soldiers. The Stanton Monument Association, originally formed to erect a statue of Lincoln War Secretary and Steubenville native Edwin Stanton (completed in 1911), organized the three-day 1913 extravaganza. The metal from the tablet was formed from the metal of the bronze and brass cannon aboard the U.S.S. Main. An electric helm indicator, bronze port covers and ornamental tripod were also presented to the city museum.
