The USC&GS brass disc stamped "1930" is set in the top of the older limestone
monument, which both Parsell and Van Zandt say was set in 1895. Van Zandt says
that the stone is 48 inches long and ten inches square. I failed to measure the
height of the stone above the ground, but it looks like one foot in the
photographs.
