PENNSYLVANIA
Conyngham Post, 81. Wilkes Barre, can boast of
one of the finest memorial buildings in the State
of Pennsylvania, or almost any other State in the
Union. The movement toward erecting g. A. X.
Memorial Hall dates back to 1857 when a eom-
mittee was appointed for the purpose of ascertain
irg public sentiment in regard 10 the enterprise,
and the feasibility of raising money for that pur.
pose by subscription. The committee obtained
assurance that subscription could be obtained for
such noble purpose. The Womans' Relief Corps
came 10 our aid and suggested That grand fair
should be held under their auspices, as the Corps
had already established such fund for a building.
The fair was held in May, 1888 and it was grand
success. The ladies turned TO The Post the
sum of SIP COO From this beginning the Post felt
warranted in purchasing lot at cost OF Sll 900,
and building that cost us $4,000 more. The
building is tlireestory. the third floor being used
"A Post-roonI, elegantly furnished. The title to
the property is vested in board of three trustees,
who hold the same in trust for the benefit OF the
will he appointed by the courts provided in

who served their country faithfully and were
honorabiy discharged The 18th anniversary OF
the organization took place Feb. IL, when the
