Gouverneur, New York - Large Lifesavers statue This town that I am reporting is my hometown. In the park in the middle of town is a large statue of a Lifesavers roll. It is said that the creator of the candy is from this town. [Travis Davis, 06/29/2005][RA: December 2005: Photo by John Horanzy. June 2005: The large roll of Pep-O-Mint candy, open on one end, reminds all that the Lifesavers company was founded by Gouverneur's Edward John Noble. The big roll, elevated on two posts, was erected in 1987 by the local Rotary Club.]
