Schuylkill County's Memorial to our mothers, Ashland's Mother's Memorial.
The memorial was erected in 1938 and the ABA raised the funds for the fabrication and erection of this monument.
The monument construction was first proposed at the 1933 ABA reunion. Members felt that such a memorial would represent the very foundation of the Ashland Boys Association organization, because their motto "Come on home" and home evoked thoughts of one's mother.
Some ABA members, and borough residents, advocated the building of library instead, but the memorial was decided upon and gained the town's full support.
The statue itself is based off of the painting "Whister's Mother".
The statue was designed by Emil Siebern and sculpted by Julius Loester. Both were from New York.
