More about this marker. The marker was originally dedicated in 1930 by the Eulalona Chapter of the Daughter's of the American Revolution at a different location and then replaced here and re-dedicated in 1955. Within the past few years, there's been a small plaque added next to the original marker noting the re-dedication by the DAR in 1955.
Regarding Denny Creek. Denny Creek flows from some springs about 1/2 a mile south from the marker, on private property and is only accessible via a gated private ranch road. This road was once the original 'Old Hwy 140' until it was re-routed the same year the plaque was moved and re-dedicated in 1955.
