Revolutionary War Memorial
Lower Merion Revolutionary War MemorialA committee of Merion Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution, led by Mrs. H. A. Arnold, with the hearty co-operation of the Church, inaugurated a movement for the erection of a Revolutionary War memorial for Lower Merion, and this was crowned with success in 1931. The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania provided the bronze tablet, the D.A.R. gave the massive block of granite therefore, the Church set apart the ground at the corner of Old and New Gulph roads, In the cemetery. Lower Merion Township removed a tree and graded the embankment, on which the D.A.R. erected a stair of 13 steps, one for each of the Colonies. Lower Merion High School Band played here on the date of the dedication. The D.A.R. and the Pastor conducted the exercises. In preparing the ground for the memorial remains were uncovered in part, reviving the tradition that here unknown soldiers were buried. It is significant that the Church never sold these lots for Interments.
