Monument to A Cherokee Indian

Fourth Generation great-nephew Clarence Leon Goins with property owner Mr. Christian and Mr. Able (neighbor) on Goyens Hill, Nacogdoches, TX in 1998.  This is where the original centennial marker to Indian Agent William Goyens, Jr once stood.  It was one of 13,000 monuments placed on the grave of the heroes they honored.  The grave is now unmarked, since the monument was restored and moved.  Although the committee was not aware of it at the time, but this centennial marker honors a Cherokee/Native American citizen of the Republic of Texas.
