    THIS MONUMENT ERECTED IN MEMORY OF THE SEVEN PEOPLE WHO WERE killed by Indians on the 17th of October, 1865, during a raid on Ephraim. The four men were killed as the Indians came down the canyon - namely, Soren N. Jespersen, Benjamin J. Black, William T. Hite, William W. Thorpe, Martin P. Kuhre. His wife Hansine J. Kuhre and a 17 year old girl, Elizabeth Petersen, were slain while in the field west of town where they were gathering potatoes. The Indians left Kuhre's son 2 years old on the field unharmed. The seven were all placed side-by-side in one grave. Erected by William Dobbie Kuhre, the 2 year old son who is now in his 91st year.

    md: Mary Ann King Benjamin was killed by Indians 17 Oct 1865 in Ephraim Canyon, Utah An Enduring Legacy, Volume Four, p.282 "October 17 a band of Indians made an attack upon Ephraim led by the great Chief Black Hawk. Many of the people were out in the fields, others in the mountains. A raid was made upon Martin Peterson Kuhre and his wife Elizabeth in the field south of town, killing both and badly mutilating their bodies. A covered buggy coming from Manti at about this time was fired upon and many shots were exchanged. One of the horses was struck by a bullet and died before reaching Ephraim. "The Indians rushed towards the mountain, taking with them more than one hundred head of cattle and horses. Up in the canyon they attacked and killed William Thorpe, Benjamin J. Black, William T. Hite and Soren N. Jesperson.
