Information gathered by Wayne and Alta Guyant on August 12, 1977.

There is a small marker for Mary Decorah, 1884-1911, but in 1970 after the reconstruction of County Trunk XX, the Loyal 4-H Club erected a larger sign,
"Lest we forget, here lies Mary Decorah, born 1884 died 1911.
A tribute to her early American Indian Heritage"

Many Indians lived in this area many years ago, as they were employed in the cranberry harvest which was a big industry at the time.
The marker for this young Indian maiden was found when the highway was being relocated.
