    Okay, I’m sure I’m way wrong, but here goes….

    My foggy old mind seems to recall something looking like this as a headstone-memorial on a grave in Springdale Cemetery, not far from the main, Prospect Road, entrance.

    But it’s probably the base of a fountain on a golf course or something more practicle like that.

    Looks like a bell…. or the replica casting of a bell.

    Drive past the infamous Fire Station 11, keep your eyes out and have a “Ah-Hah! There it is! Just like the picture!” moment.

    First Federated Church at the corner of Florence and Sheridan. I’ve never seen this before.

    I’m going to have to pay somebody to drive around Peoria looking for these places for me.

    I think most of Peoria has been demolished since I moved away.

    It’s about time, Josh!

    I’ll update with details later.
