ROYM, I will see if he is still there. I think the old lady that lived there died. If he's not there, I will try to ask the new homeowners if they know where he might be, if they know. It was so cool as a teenager to watch people in awe looking at both of them. They sat on each side of her driveway. My dad(Jim Wheeler) bought the property that the kneeling Indian sat on. Since the lady did not move him in a timely manner, we aquired him. Looking back now, I'm pretty sure my dad wanted to purchase the other one, but she wouldn't sell it. It would be awesome to have them back together again. I doubt if many people even know the story behind them. I absolutely love the fact that my family and children know the story. Greta

Those Indians sat at the end of our property in Brazoria county. When my parents moved to Somerville (late 1980s), the Indian moved too. Ironically, the road they lived on in Birch Creek Forrest was called Straight Arrow lane. If you were lost in the neighborhood or as a landmark, look for the Indian. Our family has wonderful memories of the Indian. My children played, climbed, and hid in him. Folks used to stop and ask to take pictures with him all the time. I have pictures of my kids, etc playing with him. The last couple years I have made my kids stop in Lyons and snap a pic with him. Sir, if you ever decide to get rid of him, please contact me first.
