Trish Long:
My wife Dr.Deen Underwood was responsible for getting the stone made from Zambrano Monument Co.The Concordia Heritage Association paid for the labor and materials to produce the finished product.
It is cut out of the same granite block that Hardin's and Selman's stones are cut out of, I can send you a picture of St Leon stone that was placed July 22 08 if I have a E-mail address to contact. I built the first cross that is still at the grave sight set in concrete.
