The DEEDS CARILLON and Carillon Park
i
Throughout her life, Mrs. Edward A. Deeds was a lover of music. By the time she had reached her early teens she was an accomplished musician. From then until her passing in 1949, music remained one of the dominant interests of her life. Her desire to share the beauty of good music with others found expression in many ways and culminated in her decision to erect a Carillon which for generations to come would be a source of enjoyment and relaxation for the people of this community. She saw this dream fulfilled when on Easter Sunday in April, 1942, the Deeds Carillon bells rang out in a program of Easter music. The beautiful shaft with its thirty-two bells became a striking symbol of the interest of Mrs. Deeds in music and in the community of which she was so long a part.
