Monumentation Type: Stone post Monument Category: other (not included below) Monument Category (if other): unknown Accessible to general public: yes Historical significance: Part of Ohio's Underground Railroad Obadiah and Sarah Williams were married on November 6, 1845. The young ‘conductors’ of the Underground Railroad were dispatched to the Hardin County area for more efficient contact with the Old Sandusky Trail. They purchased a section of land 1 1/2 miles South of what is now Mt. Victory, the land deed dated August 2, 1848. They built a temporary cabin about a quarter of a mile off of the Mud Pike now known as State Route 31. A new frame house was constructed in front of the cabin. This house was equipped with a guest room where many ‘guests’ were respected for their courage and will for freedom. The new house is still occupied by a great great granddaughter, Joan Elliott Wagner, at Elliott Lane and State Route 31. The original cabin was torn down in the early 1930′s.
