9. William Tenges Monument
9. There are three granite anvil-and-hammer monuments in the park. The one most evident from the front of the cemetery was erected to the memory of William Tenges, a blacksmith who maintained his shop just south of what is now the Milan bridge. He was a large man who furnished the skill and brawn most needed in those early days to keep the horses in shoes, the wagons on wheels and every other metal household thing in repair, and Tenges’ blacksmith shop was a popular stop in the community.
