Killough Monument Still Targeted by Vandals

JACKSONVILLE — A monument north of Jacksonville continues to be the target of vandals. The Killough Monument marks the site where a family of pioneers were massacred by Indians. Cherokee County Commissioners tell KETK they’ve gone as far as to install security cameras on site. On one video, teenagers were caught urinating on gravesites. One official says the monument is a popular spot for drinking, partying, and the like. The kids reportedly “like to trash the place up and break beer bottles and whatnot.” Officials say if you’re looking for signs to the site, chances are you won’t find them. They say the county puts signs up constantly, but vandals steal them.
