There is a statue of a Civil War Soldier here.  I am not sure who the original carver was because it was repaired within the last couple of years.  I am also unsure of who the soldier is supposed to represent. If it is one of the family, I am not sure which one.  David Chambers was a Veteran of the War of 1812, but this statue doesn't really represent that time period.
