These four men traveled together seeking land to settle on.  When they came upon a quarter stake marker, in the Town of Loyal, they were all in agreement that they had found the land they were looking for.  They sat around the quarter stake to eat lunch and discuss who would take which quarter, yet do it fairly.  Finally, on suggested, "Let's each claim the land which we are standing on." All agreed that was a good solution.  They cleared their land, built homesteads and with their families, lived as neighbors for about thirty years. (photo courtesy of the the Clark Co.
