A 2013 photo of the Texas Historical Marker can be seen on Mr. Woody's
Findagrave page. Apparently, it is the policy of the Texas Historical Commission to request removal of a marker if the subject is moved from its original location, which in this case, was southwest of Decatur on Wise County Rd CR 4227 in the Deep Creek community (The Atlas's coordinates are incorrect, unfortunately.). Other counties play loosely with this, but Wise County honors the request. The cabin is under a shelter, very well-protected from the elements and vandals, who have previously gone after the
Deep Creek Cemetery where Mr. Woody is buried with his wife, Emeline.
