History

From a sycamore near this spot, L.V. Grime and C.B. Hawley were lynched on Aug. 24, 1882 for the hold up and murder of Andrew Hall, a Wells Fargo packer, and Dr. S.T. Vail. The culprits had a fair hearing before JP Allen on Wednesday evening, and at 2 AM Thursday on a clear night they were hanged. Saloons were closed, and it was an orderly lynching.
