Located near Wesley Lake, this memorial is represented by a Civil War cannon with 2 plaques. One of the plaques is simply an acknowledgement of the people who helped to re-locate this cannon. Apparently, the cannon was removed from this site at some point and returned to its original position in 1999.
The primary plaque reads:

"CIVIL WAR
MEMORIAL CANNON

1st LIEUTENANT GEORGE POTTS
CIVIL WAR VETERAN
PLACED THIS DELAFIELD
CANNON ON THE BANK OF
WESLEY LAKE IN OCEAN GROVE
CIRCA 1880
IT WAS DEDICATED AS A
TRIBUTE TO THOSE WHO
FOUGHT AND DIED IN THE WAR
BETWEEN THE STATES"
