Lewis Lund, an eighteen-year-old herdsman, was guarding the Fountain Green settlement's stock north of town with Jasper Robertson, Swen Anderson, Albert Collard, and Charles Jones when Indians swooped down on the herdsmen, shooting and driving off the cattle and horses. Lewis Lund was shot and killed near this spot on Aug. 12, 1849, and the other herdsmen escaped. An engraving gives his birth as Aug. 12, 1849 and says he was killed near this spot by Indians on June 1, 1867, and the base says it was erected by Sons and Daughters of Pioneers in 1925.
