One mile north-west of this plaque lies Jagel Slough, named for the Jagel Family, who were hay and grain farmers in the area. It is believed Ozymandias P. Jagel, who settled here (1859), set up a still to carry on an illegal liquor business. He perfected the first submarine, for use in rum running, but on its initial trial discovered his feet stuck in the clay of the slough bottom, He was never head from again and never received proper recognition for his invention.
