Cecil & Jean Caple - South Lake Tahoe, CA - Dedicated Benches on Waymarking.com

Spotted this dedicated bench just inside the south entrance to Cecil's Fountain Plaza. The plaque reads:

In Memory Of
CECIL & JEAN CAPLE
_______________
Founder of Cecil's Market
1940

After doing some research online I discovered that the couple memorialized on the bench ran Cecil's Market for many years. Cecil's Market was torn down in 2001 to make room for the Marriott Resort and Heavenly Village Shopping Center east of here. Cecil Caple's son, along with another couple, built and established Cecil's Fountain Plaza in this location, halfway between its original store and Harrah's.

There's a wonderful website that shows pictures of the original Cecil's Market and its history here.
