There is the cemetery to the north, a park to the west along with a hospital, and a hospital to the south. The mall is way south of there. Marion Star is still downtown I believe. My mother used to run a country route for them. I moved away years ago, but Mom still lives there, about a mile from the Memorial.
When I first visited the grave, my reaction was “when I die, bury me like they did Warren G. Harding.” Since there is nothing to scale the memorial against, pictures don’t do it justice.
