A monument dedication will be held in her honor, 2pm, Sunday the 4th of June, 2000 at the Clinton Hedrick Community Building, Riverton, WV. Phoebe traveled on foot, from the Dolly Hills, across the Dolly Path over North Mountain, to warn the Confederate forces in Franklin that the Union Army was on the way for a surprise attack. It was in Feburary, in the middle of the night, snow, and she had to ford a swollen Friends Run several times. For this act of heroism we honor her this day. Please join us in celebration of our local heritage. For more information contact 304-358-3261; .
