Sharon Has An Honor Roll

Not to be out-done by other towns in honoring it's defenders, the Town Fathers at their September meeting, authorized the erection of an Honor Roll in Sharon, that the names of its loyal citizens who have left home and country to help win the battle of Right against might, may be ever in our sight as we'll as in our minds.
 A committee, appointed for the purpose, held a meeting and adopted a plan which has since been carried into effect, the result of which is now in evidence over the Town Hall door.
 The most important feature of the Honor Roll, as we'll as the most diffi- cult, the neat lettering of the sixty six names on the four panels, is due to the loyalty of Miss Nadie Marckres who generously donated her time and talent necessary to it's completed and pleasing appearance.
