In 1913, a memorial was erected in West Side Park honoring Officer Thomas Dodsworth, who was shot and killed in the line of duty while serving a warrant for liquor violations. The funds for the memorial were raised through a benefit baseball game held by the Champaign and Urbana City Councils, and the memorial consisted of a drinking fountain with a concrete base.
