(The workers have thought the three above readings were Hoyles inasmuch
as it is on the Hoyle land and from what we could learn has been in
their possession for many years. These initials and dates on these
three rocks are clear enough. The rocks are native stone and very
crude. Workers: Forest Williams and Anson G. Melton.)
