I took this picture in 2019, but had another photo back 10 years earlier. www.flickr.com/photos/brent_nashville/3725667989/in/album... Back then this the fountain was white. I'm not sure if it was painted a new color or if the old paint was removed showing a copper base. The Lincoln County Courthouse is in the background/ From the marker in front: dedicated by the Zollicoffer-Fulton Chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy in 1904, this fountain is a reminder of the honor and service of the Confederate women of Lincoln County. text on the fountain: To the women of the Confederacy, who kept intact the homes of the South, while the men of the south were fighting her battles, and who gave to their soldiers, their children, and their land the water of life, hope, and courage, this fountain is erected by their grateful descendants, the Daughters of the Confederacy.
