But, by planning and praying, huffing and hoisting, Amos Mazzo- lln! did manage to get his latest creation on the road a few days ago. Mazzolinl’s most recent casting Is the last of four heroic-size statues which will grace the lawn in font of a new Tennessee state Office building on Capital Hill in Nash- vlle. The work of the sculptor, Puryear M’ms, the pieces trace Ten­ nessee's history from early pioneer days up through the coining of the TVA. The project started nearly three years ago when Mims commissioned tlip Mazzollni Art Bronze Foundry tn Yellow Springs >to cast the four figures. Mazzollni, who also Is assistant professor of modelng at Antioch College, said the work proceeded with just normal problems until time neared for delivering the last piece—-that of General Na&han Bed­ ford Forrest on lioresback bringing word to a. farmer of South’s defeat n the Civil War. ’Then the bronze-caster realized that the finished statue topped nine feet in height. The studio door Is less than seven feet high. "But I'll worry about the water when I come to that bridge,” the Italian bom artist said, as lie supervised the final stage of work on the figure, applying patina to give It an aged and venerable look. No diffccullles arose when the statue arrived, from Mims as It was shipped, disassembled. Since then, however, eighteen different castings liavc been made by the “ lost wax process” Muzz- cllnl employs. This involved the handling of nearly three tons of metal, more than half of which aro n the finished product* Xzzrge pieces were bolted together and all 'shams vfrere welded befdfe ttie'jpliitina'’ was put on with a blow torch and acid- "There’s also half of me In that statue,” Mazzollni claimed, citing skinned elbows, knees and shins- In a more serolus mood, lie commented on the help he has rc- eeved from his assistant,^Wayne Green, o f 1404 E- Second S t, Day- ton. A graduate of the Dayton Art Institute and a sculptor In his own right. Green teaches at the Springfield Art Association. When the time arrved for get­ ting liic General, his horse and the fanner on the truck that Mazz­ ollni would drive to Nashville, things were a bit tense at the foundry But, a twist here and a prayer there, and the foursome was off— with tire bronze-caster in the sad­ dle this time, -— • EDWARD ALBERT NANCE Funeral services for Edward Al­ bert Nance, 41, of Xenia, Route 5, the Charlestown Mill R d . were con­ ducted Friday In the Winfrey Fun­ eral Home, Xenia, Burial was in Ferncilff Cemetery, Springfield- Mr. Nance died Tuesday night, Nov, 17, in Greene Memorial Hos­ pital following a heart attack He was a janitor at Antioch College- A native of Merfdlanville, Ala., Mr Nance was born Aug. 17, 1912, and was a son of Edward Albert Nance, Sr„ and Irene H.-ardcHti Nance, Suvivors include ills widow', Scl- p-shter, a son Donald, of Spring- field, and two daughters, Mrs Mar­ tha Orirnec of Springfield, and Joy­ ce Elizabeth, at home.
