The statue was commissioned by his 3x great-grandson in the late 19th century. It was sculpted by George Edwin Bissell and now stands in Thomas Paine Park near the Supreme Court building. The Cunard Lines' office is on the left and the curved Standard Oil building on the right.

Elmer statues were left in tourist areas in Blackpool in May and June 2024. This one had the misfortune to be sited in a car park.
