William McKibben Sanger Monument, not dated
George R. and Arthur R.
Dean
Graceland Cemetery
4001 North Clark Street
Designed by Prairie School architects George R. and
Arthur R. Dean, the William McKibben
Sanger Monument features a bronze female figure in a gesture of prayer who
leans forward from a Celtic cross the front of the dark granite pyramidal base.
The style of the elongated figure, an elegant yet pious woman, recalls the work
of English Arts and Crafts artist Edward Burne-Jones. The three medallions on
cross represent Faith, Hope and Charity. William M. Sanger (1844-77) is notable
for being the brother of Mrs. George Pullman (Hattie).
