    Remarks: 
    The sculpture was erected in memory of Charles H. Noyes (1895-1917), who died from an accidental fall from his horse at his father's ranch in Concho County, Texas. The sculpture was commissioned by his parents and cost $22,000. Charles Noyes' hat, boots, spurs, bridle and saddle, were shipped to Chicago to be copied. The sculpture's base was made from granite taken from Burnet County's Granite Mountain near Marble Falls. IAS files contain a related article from the Ballinger Ledger Centennial Edition, June 29, 1996; and a report on the sculpture written by Neuman Smith, chairman of the Runnels County Historical Commission.
    A Texas historical marker located in front of the sculpture reads: CHARLES H. NOYES, 21, DIED WHEN HIS HORSE FELL WHILE ROUNDING UP CATTLE ON THE NOYES RANCH. HIS FATHER AND MOTHER GUS AND LULA NOYES, ERECTED MONUMENT AS A TRIBUTE TO THEIR SON AND ALL TEXAS COWBOYS. POMPEO COPPINI OF CHICAGO STUDIED HORSES TWO YEARS BEFORE SCULPTING STATUE.
