Obelisk |

Exterior, page 1
Approaching the main entrance to the building - is an obelisk in memory
of the Fayette County men who were killed with Captain Nicholas Mosby
Dawson at Salado Creek - just outside of San Antonio in 1842.
The middle initial of Dawson was misspelled - and so a correction
was made - with the word (correction) cut into the stone.
