"This skyward-stretching monument was built in 1892 to honor deceased Minneapolis firemen. Atop the tall, somber monument is a statue of a firefighter dressed in the uniform of the day, including a long coat and square-billed cap. Surrounding the monument are the graves of firefighters who died between 1881 and 1979." [Source: Post by Lakewood Cemetery on its Facebook page on May 4, 2022 (LINK)]
