“It is about twenty inches out of the ground, and were it not for its general resemblance to the other mile stones would hardly be taken for a boundary stone. It is about one eighth of a mile northwest from Oxon Run and remote from any house. This stone should be replaced at once, as it is rounded, battered and chipped on every side, so that few fragments of the lettering remain.” -- Fred E. Woodward
