Just beyond the USGS bolder there is a large grouping of boulders, many of which have informative placards mounted on them. I didn't read them all but these three were interesting. The sign reads: Henry Baughman - an ill-tempered man - and his two sons, were searching the fields for lost cows. The father became angry with his youngest son, August, who was slowing the search. The father struck him with a stick, knocking him unconscious. Henry, thinking his son was dead, hid the body amongst what is now called BAUGHMAN ROCKS. Later, returning to the site, he couldn't find the body. On the testimony of his eldest son, Henry was tried, convicted, and served a term for second-degree murder. What happened to August remains a mystery to this day.
