| Notes | Joseph Rosenberg left a bequest for a fountain in Chicago "to provide the thirsty with a drink." Growing up in Chicago and working as a newsboy, Rosenberg could never convince local merchants to spare him some water. As a result, he vowed that if he were ever wealthy, he would create a fountain where newsboys could get a drink on a hot day. |
