Family legend has it that the donor's father, W. L. Frankeburger, was shot through the arm with this metal arrow point. Frankeburger was an early settler in Anderson County and active in the Anderson county militia, the Pottawatomie Rifles, during the Bleeding Kansas period. Family information notes that Frankeburger was shot by "a bush whacker or border ruffian." The metal point is attached to the wooden shaft with sinew.
