Note:
"The marker
is located on the Louisiana / Texas state line on Louisiana Highway 765 and Texas
FM-31. This is only six miles from Logansport, Louisiana while it is ten miles
from Deadwood, Texas.
Only a hundred yards or so from the marker is a sign
saying "Galloway." This was the birthplace of Country Musician Jim
Reeves. I believe that Galloway would technically be the closest "community"
to the marker, although it doesn't appear on the Texas state map while Deadwood
and Logansport both appear on their respective maps. - Gerald
