Right besides the train depot on North Depot Street there is a dedicated tree.
On the plaque at the base of the tree is written:
In Memory Of
Erie J. Sauder
Stryker Village Council
Erie J. Sauder (August 6, 1904 – June 29, 1997) was an American inventor and furniture-maker. He invented a knock-down table in 1951 that could be assembled by the average person with minimal skills. The line expanded into cocktail tables, lamp tables, end tables, step tables and corner tables. This started the ready-to-assemble furniture industry.
During his retirement years, he created Sauder Village, a nineteenth century historical outdoor museum showing life of that time period in Ohio.
