This collection visually documents 1926 granite War Memorial, in Memorial Park, Highland Park, Illinois designed and installed by James Cady Ewell. Photo negatives show the creation of the sculpture in studio and the final installation.

The collection also includes family history excerpts from Ewell's and Crafts Dudley Watson's biographies and a sound disc of a talk by Watson rerecorded by Watson (and Cady Ewell's) grandson.
