Text of marker: "MARY PHAGAN. Celebrated in song as "Little Mary Phagan" after her murder at age 13 on April 26, 1913 in Atlanta.

He was abducted from prison & lynched Aug. 17, 1915. In 1986 he was issued a pardon. [The unnumbered and undated marker has the seal of the city of Marietta at the top]" - External Identifiers:
