Pictured with Boy Scout David Moody at dedication ceremony during Trail of Death Commemorative Caravan in 1998. Note the small plaque below the boulder; it has the Boy Scout’s name, date and troop. (Photo by Bill Willard, 1998)

The other Trail of Death marker is on Bridge Street, which is a very busy street so it is best to park at the cemetery and walk across the railroad track and around to Bridge Street. The Trail of Death marker is on the south side of Bridge Street next to a steel fence.
