Plaque: "To seek freedom of thought and expression; To offer their children a better life than they had known; To experience the energy of a young country and to contribute to its growth and ideals; To stand in the Light of Freedom.
At the turn of the Century, the lure of freedom brought young F. G. Jabara and Hanna Hourani to America from Lebanon. After marrying in Oklahoma in 1917, they later settled in southeast Kansas where F. G. founded a retail business. During the next three decades, he successfully operated as an entrepreneur and cattle rancher in Burden, Kansas. F. G. and Hanna, who later made their home in Wichita, reared nine children in Burden. Eight were entrepreneurs in Wichita.
It is in the spirit of freedom, family and the American Dream that we dedicate this memorial to our parents."
