Just to the West of Railroad Avenue on Highway 21 going through Wyeville, Wisconsin is an antique store. The store itself has a horseshoe drive going all around the store. If you go to the back of the building and go Southeast from the Southeast corner of the building you will see the back side of a witness post. About 1 foot South from this WP you will find the cover for this mark. The cover is in very good shape as is the rod below. The WP has some fading but sticks out enough to easily find the mark. Best way to get to the mark is to park behind the antique store and walk.
