Excerpt from The Perry's Victory and International Peace Memorial and Centennial Celebration: Report of the Ohio Commission to the Governor of Ohio; February 20, 1916 We deplore, with affectionate remembrance and regret, the death of those of our colleagues who relinquished, withtheir lives, the hope of witnessing the completion of the great Memorial which now overlooks the historic scene of the battle of Lake Erie and the picturesque islands of our inland seas, a mutely magnificent tribute to the patriotism of the American people; but we rejoice that their devotion to this cause has been so nobly vindicated.
