To: From: Date: October 3, 2025 Re: Rifle Jack monument The Village Board received a letter dated September 11, 2025, from the Fox-Eklof American Legion Post 505 requesting that a monument to John “Rifle Jack” Peterson, a local Revolutionary War soldier, be installed at a Village-owned parcel at 119 Radnor Avenue and that the parcel be dedicated in his honor. I have reviewed this letter in accordance with the recently-adopted naming policy for the Village. The letter addresses all the requirements in the policy, with the exception of how the monument would be funded. In further conversation with the American Legion, they are requesting that the Village fund the erection of the monument in recognition of Peterson’s exceptional Revolutionary War service. The Village Board may refer this memo and letter to its committees and/or the Village Historian before making a final determination on the request. Please let me know if you have any questions.
