Inscription. Thomas P. Quinn, born in 1869 in New Jersey, had a mine near here and dug a cistern to catch water. He built a house just north of this sign and lived there until old age forced him to move to Bouse.

The remains of his cistern survive and served travelers for many years after his passing.
