It is a miracle that this marker was located. Sharon Dean spied a very small corner of this marker sticking out of the ground only inches from a large tree. Persevering for over 2 hours of digging and sawing through large tree roots, she was able to dislodge the marker, which had been facing down in the ground and held tightly by the tree roots for probably over 100 years.
