Inscription. In 1866,the pioneers gathered the stones in this base, from the river channel and bench lands surrounding Logan, for the purpose of building a fort wall around the tabernacle square. Time proved that a fort was not necessary and the stones were built into a wall that surrounded the Logan tithing yard, in 1870. -Therefore: in loving memory of the early builders, -we do, hereby, acknowledge our gratitude to our pioneers by erecting this drinking fountain built with stones as above described. Our desire is that it may continue to be a wall of protection to the health and happiness of this community.
