NWOSU's Lincoln Bust

Lisa Ingels - Ayala comments on the feature (NWOSU's Lincoln Bust), in Vol. 9, Iss. 4, dated 2007-01-27, "Thank you for displaying the bust with my great uncle, Frank Ingels, brother to my grandfather, Roland Ingels. Anyone out there, I would appreciate help in obtaining a family tree that leads from Roland Ingels to Quanah Parker.

We have a lot of American Indian blood and I am proud of that. Thank you."

The Lincoln Memorial & Sculptor was done for the Class of 1915 that placed on the campus the shaft erected to Honest Abe. The bust was made by a Northwestern student. The bust was donated to the Class of 1915 by Frank Ingles as his token to Alma Mater thru his brother Roland, a member of the class.

The bust came from the studio of Lorado Taft, out to the plains of Oklahoma, to Northwestern's very campus. Here it stands thru the white heat of the summer noonday, thru the chill of the winter winds, staunch, unflinching, a benefactor to all who heed.

It was delivering a silent message to the generations of Rangers passing by.   |  View or Add Comments (0 Comments)   |   Receive updates ( subscribers)  |   Unsubscribe
