I found these because I stopped to see a small white house hidden in trees and a very unusual weather vane. The house turned out to be J.C. Penney's birth-house. The city was tearing down an old bank building (1800's) and the lot was going to be made into a park...these stones were near the sidewalk of that old bank. A mural about J.C. Penney's life was painted on the now exposed wall of the building next to the now empty lot.
