The monument at this site used to be further east just off 51st street at Old Manor Road. I remember Boy Scout hikes that ended at the monument to prove that the tale that had been related as we walked along the creek was indeed true. I'm glad that when development forced the city to move the monument that it was placed in a more prominent and accessible spot.

Well, after complaints from the neighborhood, the monument for Josiah Pugh Wilbarger was moved to the Wilbarger family cemetery in Bastrop.
