The smaller marker reads:
This memorial was given by Mrs. I. R. Leigh (1867-1956) of Grantville, Georgia. It was originally placed on the Liberty Hill Road in a cornfield on the site of the long vanished home of the late Mr. and Mrs. Wiley Hutchins, the uncle and aunt who reared Young J. Allen. In order for memorial to be more accessible to the public Mrs. Leigh later gave permission for it to be moved to the grounds of Allen-Lee Memorial Church.
