Sarah Acheson (February 20, 1844 - January 16, 1899),
the wife of Dr. Alex Acheson, a noted early Denisonian, was the head of
the Denison chapter of the Women's Christian Temperance Union.
The fountain in the photo was apparently erected to honor the
WCTU, and the women around it were the chapter members, including Mrs.
Acheson.
The
fountain was at 301 West Main Street, just outside Madden's Department
Store. Madden's was founded in 1896, originally as Madden &
Graham. A. E. Graham was John Madden's father-in-law, who lived in
Denton and had several stores in various towns
