Inscription. This drinking fountain was erected in 1954 A.D. and donated to the Village of Elora by Norman Stafford in memory of the founders of our village, those God fearing men and women who have left us a great heritage and of the Stafford family, who settled in Elora in 1855.

"Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again: but whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst: but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.”
St. John 4:13 14
