Marion's Civil War gun memorial’s quiet origin revealed
In Marion, the Civil War cannon in the city square park was placed by Pete Martin who bid it in at a Prairie du Chien sale and gifted it to the city. Fred Schultz’s father, a stone mason, built the base using Main Street stones. The piece, once part of scrap drives, stands with World War I foundations nearby.
