There was an official celebration July 31, 1902 of the unveiling of a bronze tablet placed there to mark the exact spot upon which formerly stood the Pontiac tree around which occurred the battle of Bloody Run on July 31, 1763.
The tablet was located on a brick wall which ran between company's buildings on Jefferson avenue from the main office building to the factory building.
Between the two buildings once stood the big Garland.
