Erected by the Watchorn Family

As did their friends the Smiley brothers, Robert and Alma
Watchorn contributed greatly to Redlands' cultural life. A
labor organizer, Commissioner of Immigration at Ellis Island,
and oilman who experienced the American dream, Robert as
a self-made man identified with Abraham Lincoln. He shared
that interest with his only child, Emory Ewart. Ewart's
impaired health led to his death at age 25, the result of his
service as a pilot in World War I. Devastated by the loss, the
Watchorns decided to memorialize their son by erecting a
museum in Redlands honoring Lincoln. This bas-relief is
donated by Drs. Boyd, Alan, and Kenneth Nies in memory of
their parents, Dr. Arthur and Mary Nies, who also lived the
American dream.
