Like the nearby Dickinson monument, I suspect this monument was transferred from the old cemetery grounds in Lowertown now known as MacDonald Gardens Park. However, I do not find relative reinterments listed in the Beechwood Cemetery burial registers. The burials described on the monument which took place before 1874 were not in Beechwood.

Near the monument, visitors may notice the metal disk memorial to District Chief William Isaac Dicks (1879-1940) of the Ottawa Fire Department. W. I. Dicks is not connected to the Webster family.
