Thought I take a quick look at this article to see if I could find any other helpful leads.

From a Charlestown newspaper, this article states it was found on Mollie Carr's farm by George Baldock, who happens to own land nearby (saw that on a map).

But later in another article, it appears Mollie Carr actually farms on land owned by her grandfather John Carr

If you hunt this, please update this thread with your story.
 

Final Post: I'm guessing here, but I believe Gen, John Carr's land went to his son Andrew J Carr. I found A. Carr land on an 1875 Clark Co map located near GW Baldock land, south of Charlestown.
On the GIS and Google Maps, this land has seen a lot of development or some may be part of the Charlestown Park. To get any more granular, one would need to go do some research at the county offices.
Who owned what land in 1903?
