AT
MERCER
Proposed
Soldiers' Monument Will Be Located at County Seat
At
the organization of the Mercer County Soldier's Monument
Association in Pittsburg, during encampment, a
resolution was passed instructing the officers and
executive committee to call a meeting to decide on the
location of the proposed monument.
This
meeting was held here, Friday afternoon. The posts
represented were
Mercer
- M. C. Zahniser
Sharon
- W. S. Baker
Greenville
- W. H. Beil
Grove
City - J. A. Bolander
Jamestown,
Sharpsville and Sheakleyville sent no delegates.
After
considerable discussion Mercer was chosen as the place for
the monument and each post in the county will begin at
once to collect funds. The intention is to erect a
creditable monument, but not make the too-common mistake
of getting a monument so expensive it can't be paid
for. Mercer post has donated $200.
The
officers of the association are: President, Harry
Watson, Greenville; vice presidents,
Jonas Pierce, Sharpsville; J.
A. Gilmore, Grove City; secretary,
C. M. Derrickson, Mercer; treasurer, Samuel
C. Dickey, Greenville; executive committee: W.
S. Baker, Sharon; A. B.
Filson, Mercer; A. H. Burnett,
Greenville; S. T. Bell,
Sheakleyville; Chas. Renningbrew,
Sharpsville; W. H. Malony,
Jamestown; A. Glenn, Sandy
Lake.
