Roger thanks for posting the link to that article!

It reminded me that something I stated above was incorrect. It was a REPLACEMENT statue that was lost in the earthquake/fire. As the article correctly states, the original 1866 statue was plaster and was taken down after the outstretched arm fell off. A more sturdy metal copy (or at least similar statue) was made and placed on the original base in the 1880s. It was that one that was lost (all but a finger anyway) in the earthquake/fire.
