Memorial debate on soldiers memorial and library in Bonalla
Local meeting at the Shenn Wall in Bonalla drew about forty participants to discuss a permanent memorial for returned soldiers and a public library. Members debated timing amid war, with proposals to fund a hall and possibly a library via subscriptions, state grants, or private gifts, and to defer final action until after the war while remaining open to a future Memorial committee and local fundraising.
