ST. JOSEPH, MICHIGAN

N 42° 06.462 / W 086° 29.095

Copyright version 1920, pressed copper.

Smithsonian Art Inventory Control Number: 47260055.
On landscaped mound by a walkway in Bluff Park, at head of "T" intersection of Lake Boulevard and Market Street.
The inscription on the plaque on the mound reads:

DEDICATED NOV. 11, 1930
TO THE MEMORY OF
ALL WHO SERVED IN
THE GREAT WORLD WAR
1917 – 1918
----- 
ERECTED BY
THE ST. JOSEPH POST
AMERICAN LEGION AUXILIARY
AND PATRIOTIC CITIZENS

The inscription on the plaque on the base of the sculpture reads:

REFURBISHED BY THE
STEVENSVILLE AMERICAN LEGION
AUXILIARY UNIT 568
MAY 1998
(Refers to the new left arm and rifle attached in 1997 and conservation through Spring of 1998 by Venus Bronze Works, Detroit, Michigan.)
Prior to the 1998 refurbishment, the rifle was missing and shrubs on the mound were somewhat larger.  The rifle and bayonet were restored and mound was re-landscaped in the refurbishment project. The Doughboy is in excellent condition.

The people in St. Joseph must be quite proud of the Doughboy, because it’s been reported that a St. Joseph group even donated funds to help in the acquisition of the Doughboy replication in Sarasota, Florida, while the refurbishment was taking place in St. Joseph.

The Smithsonian IAS record is correct, except it lists the owner as St. Joseph, Missouri, rather than St. Joseph, Michigan.

The simple earh mound setting was one of Viquesney's favorites.
