The former Somerset Volunteer Fire Department building near Murphysboro will transfer to Somerset Township under the will of G. Stuart Jenkins. The 90 by 200 foot site in Huffman's Subdivision, built by volunteers, will serve as a community center and polling place with operating expenses funded by the township. The transfer follows the department's 1966 closure due to financial issues and failed fire district votes in 1960.
