The Sign reads:
"Nearby are the graves of John Friend, Sr. (1732–1808), Kerrenhappuch Hyatt (d. 1798), his wife, and their son Gabriel (1761–1852), John and Gabriel were soldiers in the Revolution. The first permanent settlers in Garrett County, they settled on the Youghiogheny River at "Friends Fortune," now known as Friendsville."
There is a narrow shoulder near the marker for a quick picture, but it didn't seem like a safe long term parking spot.
