More about this marker. The stone base and bronze tablet were originally located in the center of the gravel parking lot of Grace Memorial Church. The marker was destroyed on the evening of May 21, 2006 by a tractor-trailer attempting to turn around in the church parking lot. The CWPT and the SCV had been working to move the memorial to a safer location. Police were unable to locate the driver. The marker has since been rebuilt and relocated.
