Summary
| Description |
English: The ornamental plate celebrates the life of John Henry.
"This statue was erected in 1972, by a group of people with the same determination as the one it honors. The Hilldale-Talcott Ruritan Club chose this memorial to mark a page in history, one hundred (100) years after the completion of the Big Bend Tunnel in 1872. John Henry died from a race with the steam drill, during construction of the tunnel for the C.&O. Railway Co. May God Grant that we always respect the great and the strong and be of service to others." W.E.H |
