This marker is facing Second Avenue and has been set into the northeast wall of 187 E Main Street in downtown Batesville, Ar. It appears to be made of Batesville "marble" a very fine quality limestone found in the area and used on many of the local buildings - including the Courthouse nearby. The text of the marker reads:
