Information:
Just from reading the signs, the story seems to go like this: David Nemechek moved to Noble County with his family. After a period of time, something happened, either to get him on the bad side of the law, or to get the law on the bad side of him. That is when strange things start happening: cattle starts getting mutilated and murdered, harassing phone calls, strange drum beats in the middle of the night, threats on his family’s lives, and other things. It would seem that David did not appreciate this, so he fought back the only way he knew how: by posting signs in his front yard.
Apparently in 1993, the sheriff, accused in the signs of wrongdoing, won a libel lawsuit against the Nemecheks and the next year had their property seized to satisfy the judgment.
Beyond the mystery of the story, the signs themselves are works of art. Color blocks accent various segments of neatly lettered discourse. The rhythm of the different colors are captivating, although the accents are placed on every word.
