Shade's Well
Site two miles south
From this famous well, cattlemen watered their herds of thousands of stock while waiting shipment over the Rock Island Railroad, after long trail drives to the end of the track near old Tyrone. The well was located by J. U. Shade and H. B. Fore in 1888. It was managed by Zachariah Cain to 1901 ~ end of cattle trail days.
Marker is at the intersection of U.S. 54 and County Highway D, on the left when traveling east on U.S. 54.
