Description

The Edwin C. Jellett Series of Scrapbooks, Volume 3 -The Wissahickon Page 90 contains a photograph with no caption. It is however a photograph of the monument to William Rittenhouse in his capacity as a member of the Mennonite Church. The monument is a rectangular stone slab set on a stone foundation. At the top of the monument, in raised lettering, is the name Rittenhouse. Underneath this lettering is a broze keystone affixed to the stone with raised lettering (which cannot be determined from the photograph). It is likely that this lettering describes pertinent events in the life of William Rittenhouse.
