- Photograph article dated March 31, 1949 partially reads, "One familiar marker too often overlooked is the memorial to pioneer mothers of the covered wagon days. It is located under spacious pepper trees on Euclid Ave. where Highway 66 intersects in the City of Ontario, about 40 miles east of Las [sic] Angeles...The words 'Madonna of the Trail' is chiseled in the stone on one side. On another side are words stating: 'Over this trail in November, 1826, sixteen trappers sought a river and were the first Americans to enter California overland."
