There is a two-foot [[granite]] [[obelisk]] on the former Ratcliff property. It is unknown who erected the obelisk or when it was placed there. In 2010, Ratcliff descendants placed an engraved paver tile beside the obelisk as a memorial. It is unknown if Ratcliff's grave is at the actual location of the marker.<ref name=vandusen/>
