Dedication of the Legion Building and Newell pool story
The Legion Building was dedicated June 14 1951 on Main Street with George Allee delivering a speech honoring his sister Rose and their father Jesse Allee. The piece details sustained community efforts, the pool project begun 1954, its opening in 1956, fundraising drives by the Newell Commercial Club and Lions Club, and George Allee’s philanthropic impact including many memorial gifts and public service.
