6ft Statue Found on Farm

The 400 pound bronze statue that once stood outside the Abraham Lincoln National Cemetery in Elwood has been found on a farm. Three years after the thieves cut the bolts of the Ammunition Plant worker statue which attached it to its base it was found lying in a paddock. The statue was originally erected in 2001 and then vanished in July 2005.The general consensus was that the statue had been melted down for money.
The statue was erected in honor of the  48 men who were killed and the 46 workers injured when an explosion ripped through the plant on the 5th of June, 1942 (during World War II). Problem now seems to be what to do with it. A $30,000 replacement statue now stands in its place!
