Caption: Gov. Adlai Stevenson of Illinois helps unveil a plaque honoring Elijah P. Lovejoy at Riverside Park in Alton on Nov. 9, 1952. With him are (left) Elijah P. Lovejoy IV, then 11 years old, and Girl Scout Naomi Wilson. The bronze marker was stolen several years later, and a replacement was moved to the foot of William Street, site of the warehouse where Lovejoy was shot to death. It then was moved to Lovejoy School, 1043 Tremont Street in Alton. (Post-Dispatch)
