According to Herbert
Allen, a descendant of the Allen family pioneers of Frontier County, Nebraska,
when the first white settlers arrived, the Medicine Creek area of the county
was a virtual prairie Garden of Eden. Game was plentiful with deer, wild
turkeys, and buffalo in abundance. The nearest town was Arapaho, in Furnas
County.
Herbert Allen erected
this marker as a memorial to the pioneer families who lived in the Medicine
Creek settlement. When the graves were threatened by the rising waters
of Harry Strunk Lake, he petitioned the Corps of Engineers to have the
graves moved. In 1972, as a living relative, I was able to sign the necessary
documents to have this accomplished, and was able in 1978 to meet Mr. Allen
and see the new
location.
