Charles Kingston was a major contractor for one of the copper mines in the area, and befitting his importance, the taller obelisk to the right bears he and his wife's name. The slightly shorter obelisk on the right side bears the name of Maragret Ann Kuntz, the 47 year old wife of John W. Kingston, apparently a son of Charles.
Estimated heights of the obelisks, Charles Kingston including base, 20 feet. Margaret Ann Kingston including base, 17 feet. Charles Kingston obelisk fully visible. Margaret Ann Kingston obelisk partially hidden in the trees.
