It is a life-like reproduction of Judge Kenyon, and when the weather is pleasant almost any time of the day a group of friends of the judge can be seen looking at the memorial and telling of the admiration they had for Mr. Kenyon when he was practicing law in Fort Dodge, when he was United States Senator (1911-1922), and when he was United States circuit judge.
This memorial was designed and made by Albin Polasek of Chicago, a sculptor of international fame. In many cities in this country and Europe are memorials made by Mr. Polasek.
