In 1905, Mr. Albert Stone came to Harrisonburg, Virginia to open two marble quarries on Kratzer Rd. north of Harrisonburg. Mr. Stone contacted J. A. Neff to find a couple of trees 40 to 60 feet tall to make derrick poles to draw rocks from the quarries. The poles came from a farm on the Shenandoah River owned by Mr. Yancey. This photo shows the poles being transported through court square in Harrisonburg. Also see Photo5215.01.Collection
