This is where the Hoeppner monument stood. It appears that, over his dead body was Jacob going to be buried in the selfsame cemetery that bore his adversaries! As the story goes, widespread rumours regarding misappropriation of public funds, land titles and general jealously of his success on his own superior property effected enough fury to get him thrown into jail! Not his finest hour. How he would have cheered to see this monument hauled off to Steinbach, to take its rightful place in history!
