The benchmark is on the right hand side of the second step leading to the door of a church. This entrance appears to be an older entrance to the church and is on the SW corner of the building. The church is the St. James Lutheran Church and it is located on Vivion Road approximately one mile east from its intersection with Oak Trafficway. This benchmark was originally placed in 1933 and was reset in 1954.
