North Dearborn Park's new monument honors local boy

(GUILFORD, Ind.) – A new monument at North Dearborn Community Park honors a local boy and other children who have passed away far too young. 

4-year-old Cameron Baur fought a courageous battle against Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. 

He passed away on December 31, 2024 and his infectious smile, sweet soul and caring spirit will never been forgotten. 

“Small but mighty, Cam always made sure to keep up with big sister Josey and was always ready to protect her if she was sad or scared,” his family said.

A stone has just been installed at the new playground at the park and it honors Cam. 

North Dearborn Park said the monument should serve as a reminder of what the playground is truly about. 

“A place where families can come together. Where children can laugh, play, run, and make memories. Where friendships grow, families connect, and we are reminded just how precious it is to be here,” North Dearborn Community Park stated.

They added, “We believe Cam would have wanted that.”

Park leaders add that this stone not only honors Cam, but also represents all the children in the community who have faced battles at such a young age.
