Erected by the Lycoming Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution, June 10th, 1901. At that time, a natural thicket of wild plum trees grew there, which yielded fruit of remarkable size and flavor for nearly a century after the tragedy. The road was merely a widening out of the old Indian trail, and was out through this thicket. The boughs, with the leaves dried on them, were thrown into the bushes, forming a safe place for the concealment of the savages. When Colonel Hepburn's searching party was about to leave the spot without finding all the victims, the boy who had escaped the previous day insisted that Mrs. King must be somewhere in the thicket, as he had heard her scream and say she would not go along with the savages when they tried to drag her away, and that he saw her fighting desperately. The party then made another detour through the bushes and found her about nine o'clock in the morning near the little stream, where she had dragged herself during the night and rested with her hand under her head, with her brains oozing over her fingers. ______________ King, Wm 1785 Recovering his daughters 20190423HAv- pasted from page describing the massacre, 'crop Mary'- This memorial marks the site of a massacre of white settlers by the indians, June 10th 1778.
