Killed and Wounded in Battle of Lake Erie

limestone wall with three columns are engraved with the name of a vessel from the Battle of lake Erie and the men who were wounded and killed
The hand engraving of the Indiana limestone wall tablets in the rotunda began October 1913 and continued intermittently though February 1915. Each tablet leads by identifying a ship and is followed by the names of the sailors and soldiers who died or were injured during the Battle of Lake Erie. On the elevator floor above the rotunda are bronze plaques which bear the names of many who fought the battle and survived.
