Today’s sign, a Jimi Hendrix quote, is brought to you by Round Table Design. #Walk2EndAlz #ENDALZ Thank you, Kevin and Kristin!
We recently found this stone property corner that was set on April 12, 1889. Benjamin Harrison was President, and the Eiffel Tower was brand new! The stone was there, buried for 131 years, marking the boundary and waiting for us to find it. One important function of land surveyors is perpetuating these monuments for the future. The last time this stone was mentioned in the public record was when it was set. We measured and are recording its location with the Franklin County Clerk / Recorder for future landowners and surveyors to find. Maybe another surveyor will take a picture with it in 2150!

Last fall we had some young apprentices one afternoon!
Did you know: Illinois once had County Surveyors. From 1835 to 1936 this was an elected position, and from 1936-1957 the County Surveyor was appointed by the County Board. The position was abolished in 1957. The County Surveyor was to set stones or build mounds at the property corners they were hired to survey. This stone was set in Jefferson County sometime between 1900 and 1908 by surveyor James Westcott. It is officially known as the South 16th corner of Sections 14 & 15, Township 4 South, Range 1 East of the Third Principal Meridian. This one was easy to find thanks to a fence corner post and an iron pin witness set by retired surveyor Jack Gilbert.
