• Note: |2002-May-26| The boulder was dug out of the adjacent field in |1932 Dec| in preparation of the field for planting a vineyard of Concord grapes. The approximate weight of the boulder is 10 tons. The 1932 date was discovered in a diary kept by Alice (Houck) Hoover, mother of D. Maxell (sic) Hoover. The diary is in the possession of Maxine (Hoover) Fullagar, daughter of Max Hoover. Erwin Canfield assisted Max Hoover, owner of the property in removing the boulder. Current owner of the vineyard property is Robert Canfield, grandson of Erwin. At the age of 5 years, Robert Canfield recalls observing the boulder while it was still in the hole and preparations were underway for its removal. ⁸⁾
