                            Tradition is that their name was Hudson.  
                            They were supposed to have helped with the building of the road 
                            (now the Lincoln Highway) about 1815.  
                            They were bachelors. 
                            One died and a short time later the other commited suicide.  
                            There is a spring a short distance from the graves, 
                            which are marked with native stones, bearing their initials.
