Thanks for visiting Inessa. Everyone who visits Markerville stops to take a photo here by the river. The plaque on the cream can was placed by the centennial committee. It says:

"1888-1988 Dedicated to the pioneers of Markerville and district who Prepared the Way. They did so much with so little."

"The best that was in me forever shall live, "The sun over darkness prevail" -- Stephan G. Stephansson

I don't think I have a photo it, but but Stephansson House in Markerville is now a Provincial Historic Site, restored to 1927. He was a famous Icelandic immigrant poet.
