Photo submitted to Times Observer A 1-year-old girl, Ella, the daughter of Drs. Rachael and P.J. Lattanzio, stands in front of the Abraham Lincoln-Bedell Memorial Statue in Westfield, N.Y. — an innocent reminder and symbolic gesture of American patriotism. The statue was erected in 1999 in Westfield in what is now known as the Lincoln-Bedell Statue Park and showcases bronze statues of Abraham Lincoln and Grace Bedell, the girl who suggested that he grow a beard for his presidential campaign. Bedell, an 11-year-old girl from Westfield, wrote a letter to Lincoln, a Presidential candidate, in 1860, encouraging him to “grow whiskers and her brothers would vote for him and he would look nicer.”
