Monument of pulled teeth

At the corner of Riverside Drive and Lexington Avenue in Elkhart, Indiana, you'll find a curious cement block packed with teeth yanked by a dentist who practiced nearby for nearly 60 years.


Dr. Joseph Stamp made the monument as a memorial for his childhood dog, says his granddaughter Susan Howard. She claims he kept all the teeth he pulled in a barrel before periodically adding them to the monument.


"He was a very resourceful person," Howard told The Elkhart Truth. "If he had something on hand and he was building something, he would try to find a way to use it."
