Friend after friend departs:
Who has not lost a friend.
There is no union here of hearts
that finds not here an end.
Thus star by star declines
Till all are passed away.
As morning high and higher shines
to more and perfect day.

Pouring forth millions of gallons of clear, icy water daily, these springs feed the San Marcos River and the 1,380-square-mile area which it drains. The immense springs rise at the Balcones Escarpment, a geologic fault line which slices across the state, separating upland from lowland Texas.
She was someone who was greatly respected, both within and outside of the congregation. A Civil War physician and historian wrote of Mother Angela: "In every army and battlefield in the west she and her sisters were found. She established field hospitals as well as several permanent hospitals. Her influence in Washington was all powerful both because of her family connections and because of the recognition of her wonderful work for the sick and wounded soldiers. Sometimes even when generals failed to secure needed aid, Mother Angela would make flying trips to Washington and the aid was forthcoming."
This historical marker was originally located at our South Bend Saint Joseph Hospital Campus, and was "dedicated" there in October of 1965. It was removed to accommodate the demolition of all of the existing buildings to make space for the new Saint Joseph High School. The Indiana Historical Marker Bureau concurred with us that the rightful location of this marker should be at the new Saint Joseph Regional Medical Center campus in Mishawaka, Indiana. The Bureau permitted us to repaint it to the current standards and erect it here next to our 30' cross from that same campus. It is with great pride that on this day September 9th, 2013 that we "rededicate" this Indiana Historical Marker and honor the Sisters of the Holy Cross and their commitment to compassionate healing.

Die heutige barocke Dom- Pfarrkirche wurde 1717/24 nach Plänen von Johann Jakob Herkommer mit einer für ihn charakteristischen Chorkuppel erbaut. Zuvor erhoben sich hier seit der Anlage der Altstadt (ab 1180) mehrere Vorgängerbauten, deren Patrozinium zum hl. Apostel Jakob d.Ä. erstmals 1270 genannt wird. 1643 zur selbständigen Pfarre erhoben, wurde die Kirche vor allem durch ihr “Mariahilf”- Gnadenbild von Lukas Cranach d.Ä. (um 1537) berühmt. Hervorzuheben ist auch das Grabdenkmal des Deutschordens-Hochmeisters Erzherzog Maximilian III. von Österreich von Caspar Gras (1618). 
Spanish explorers and later New England hide and tallow traders found the Big Sur coastline a great hazard. Heavy fogs and extreme winds caused the wreck of many vessels on this coast. The Gold Rush of 1849 dramatically increased coastal shipping. A lighthouse was clearly needed. President Andrew Johnson signed the executive order which reserved the site for lighthouse purposed in 1866. Construction began in 1887 and the lamp was lit on August 1, 1889.
Dieser französischen geprägte Neurenaissance-Palast wurde nach einem Brand 1899/1900 durch Josef Döpfer aus Luzern und den Architekten Bernhard Hauser erstellt. Der beeindruckende Baukörper mit dem Mittalrisalit in der Hauptfront und dem polygonalen Eckturm beherrscht selbst-bewusst das Bild an der Strassenkreuzung. Trotz diverser Erweiterungen mit Speisesaal und Hallenbad ist das Beau Rivage in seinem Erscheingungsbild weitgehend erhalten geblieben und gehört nach wie vor zu den besten Hotelbauten von Interlaken. Beachtenswert sind auch der Festsaal Belle Epoque und der parkartige Garten mit seiner markanten Einfriedung.

This marker, set on the Butterfield Stagecoach Road, is placed near the spot where the trail crossed the east-west road between Huntsville and the Robinson settlement in western Benton County. John Robinson, a Revolutionary soldier, settled here about 1837 and the "road to Robinson" was designated at this point as "Robinson Cross Roads".
This post office was established in 1843. Nov. 29, 1861, Gen. Ben McCulloch moved his army into winter quarters here. Numerous, large, two-room, plank barracks were built in two rows facing each other, extending eastward more than a mile. Ten or twelve thousand soldiers wintered here.
