"In 1912 a cast-iron water fountain was donated by Mrs. Howard Elmer in memory of her husband and placed near the South Elmer Avenue entrance to the park. Originally it had four drinking outlets. Close to the ground were drinking pots for animals. In recent years several community-minded companies and their employees did restoration work, which has saved the fountain for the foreseeable future. The words “Howard Elmer Park” are visible on the north side of the fountain."
