Headstone in Little River??

[Jim Wyatt]

Back in 1978 circa several of us placed a headstone in Little River for a diver killed in a dam accident. The name on the headstone was Bill Kohler.

This stone was a regular granite stone - weighing around 75 lbs as I recall.

We placed it near the Florida room. Is the headstone still there? Anyone ever seen it?

Never saw that, where about in the florida Room was it placed?

I've never seen it. I started diving there in the early 90's so it has been gone/lost/burried for a while.

[DeWayne]

In my few dives there so far I have not seen it either. This gives me something to look for next time that I make it down that way.

[Dwain]

I've been in there many times... Never seen it. Could be tipped over and covered up????

the marker was located before the chimney late 80's early 90's. Haven't seen it since. It was really in the cavern zone. May be covered with sand.

The Headstone you are referring to was in the Cavern area just to the right of the existing location of the start of the Gold line. It was there from the early nineties until around the 96-97 time frame. I always used to point it out to my students when I was teaching Cavern/Intro there. It was a real good attention getter!

I also remember seeing it in the late 70’s and early 80’s. It was at about 60 feet at the bottom of the cavern zone.

There was some discussion about it being a "magnet" if it remained that far back in the cave. Apparently someone moved it to the cavern zone later due to that reasoning.

I suppose it is covered with silt/mud by now.
