For those who might not know, there is a small bronze plaque on the north side of Main Street just to the west of the intersection with 664 marking the site of what was once the home of Benjamin Hanby. The house was demolished probably in the 1920s. The house that stands there today was once the house of Dr Robert Bode.

The plaque reads:
“THE HOME STOOD HERE IN WHICH BEN HANBY COMPOSED THE ORIGINAL SONG “DARLING NELLIE GRAY.” HE ACQUIRED THE INSPIRATION FOR THE SONG THRU HIS FRIENDS HERE, RELATING THE ROMANTIC.AND TRAGIC CHAPTER FROM THE LIFE STORY OF JOE SELBY, A FUGITIVE UNDERGROUND SLAVE, WHO LEFT HIS SWEETHEART NELLIE GRAY IN THE SOUTH HOMELAND. SELBY BECAME ILL WHILE PASSING THRU HERE, DIED, AND WAS BURIED IN THE RUSHVILLE CEMETERY SOUTH OF RUSHVILLE.”
