The dark, bronze plaque is attached to an almost semi-circular stone bench in the 'Corner Park', and it reads:

  FOUNDERS CORNER
  This Park was planted in 1932
  by the residents of Mt Wilson
	  in Memory of

E.K. Cox   G.H. Cox  J.D. Cox  W. Hay
     E.C. Merewether  J. Gregson
    R. Wynne  R. Kirk  E. Du Faur
	Judge M.H. Stephen

      Who came to Mt Wilson
	    1875-1880

The names of Cox, Hay, Wynne, and Du Faur all are associated with geographical features of the area, but it is unknown if the specific persons mentioned here are those that relate to: Cox River, Mount Hay, Wynnes Rock, and Du Faurs Canyon. Most likely Wynnes Rock, and Du Faurs Canyon would be, as they are in the immediate area.
