"In the Pioneer cemetery near Big Rock, about twenty miles west of the 
Mississippi River, a granite block bears this inscription: 'In memory of 
Charles Dutton, son to Stephen and Sally, who settled nearby with five sons in 
1836:  They were among the first two hundred pioneers that opened the virgin
prairies to Clinton County to cultivation.  By raft and boat they came on the 
Susquehanna, Ohio and Mississippi rivers from Afton, New York, to what became 
known as the Dutton settlement on the Wapsipinicon River in the southwest 
corner of Olive Township.  He was an early volunteer in the War of 1812 and 
was born February 2, 1788 at Dummerston, Vermont; married 1814 to Nancy 
Pearsall, and buried on his son Leroy's farm near Grand Mound, Iowa.''
