| | | 1. The Salvation Army Marker | | The marker is mounted at ground level. This may not have always been so, because there is edging around 3 sides of the marker, but not the ground side. The marker appears to have been cut to fit against the sidewalk. Also, the last digit in the date appears to have been cut - it may not be a "9". | | |
