More about this marker. Although the marker lists a date of 2008, the dedication took place in 2010. The quote on the monument is attributed to one "Clarena Darrow." The quote should actually have been attributed to the famous attorney, Clarence Darrow.
Also see . . . "Finishing the Job". This was the article published in the "Duncan Banner" on March 20, 2010, regarding the monument's dedication. (Submitted on July 21, 2012, by M. Blakelylaw of Southeast, Oklahoma.)
