Included in this folder is a picture of the "Pertle Springs Persimmon (Diospyros Virginiana)" marker stating:

"From the Church of the Brethren Annual Conference of 1890, held in Pertle Springs, Missouri, the parent of these two trees was brought by B. F. Kintner to his farm in Defiance County, Ohio.  It is still alive ninety years later near the Lick Creek Church of the Brethren.  In 1937, two offspring trees were planted at Manchester College by Prof. Edward Kintner as a part of a program to increase the variety of trees on campus.  A.D. 1985."
