Transcription

Garden of Eden Lucas Kansas 67648. “When Cain killed his brother, Abel, the Lord got after him. Here you see Cain and his wife fleeing for the Lord of Nod.” Here stands what is believed to be the first flag ever made of concrete. This 4 x 7 foot flag, built in 1912, still turns with the wind.
