The doughboy monument was sculpted by Gaetano Federici - Paterson NJs sculptor.
In the Greater Paterson area, Gaetano Federici (1880-1964) was once a household name, with more than forty of his statues within a two mile radius of Paterson City Hall.
Born in Castelgrande, Southern Italy, Federici immigrated to Paterson at age seven. Beginning his work as an apprentice sculptor in 1897, Federici was a traditional sculptor whose works fits in the late Victorian realism. His era was the end of the era when public figures were memorialized in bronze statues. The current era favors abstract memorials like the Vietnam War Memorial in Washington DC.
He was responsible for many of the public sculptures in Paterson and around to. Including several of the statues in front of Paterson City Hall, as well as in front of the Passaic County Courthouse. Many of Federici’s subjects are themselves notable figures, both on a local and national level, including politicians (Senator William Hughes, Mayor Andrew McBride), philanthropists (Nathan Barnert), religious leaders (Dean McNulty), athletes (Eleanor Egg, national track star) and comedians, (Lou Costell).

This monument has been erected by
the people of Athlone
to the memory of their young townsman,
John Joseph Walsh, Solicitor.
1876 - 1903
Cut off in the opening of a most promising career
he has left to the young men of his native town
a striking example of ardent love of country
and zeal for the advancement of his countrymen.
Be his epitaph writ on his country's mind
He served his country and loved his kind
A.D. 1906
