In 1841, Professor Samuel L. Howe came into the territory of Iowa, and settled on a farm southeast of Mount Pleasant. His life work was very different from that of a farmer, since he had been prepared for the profession of a teacher in Ohio with marked success. In the winter of 1841-42, Professor Howe began teaching in a log cabin, and had four pupils, several who have since become well know in this county. A year or two later, he opened a school In Mount Pleasant, in a room in the old jail building. Subsequently he removed to the old Cumberland Presbyterian Church building, where he continued his school.
This boulder was placed at the location of the "Old Mill", as Howe's Academy was fondly known by the alumni.
