From the marker:
William Frederick Cody, “Buffalo Bill”, son of Isaac and Mary Cody, was born near this site on February 26, 1846. His parents purchased land from the United States of America Land Patent on September 16, 1841. They built a log cabin in the NE ¼ of the SE ¼ of section 28 LeClaire Township located approximately 1650 feet northwest of this site. The Cody’s moved from here when Bill was 8 months old. The farm was sold March 9, 1852.
The cabin has long been torn down and the location is now part of a large tilled field.
