These are two photos of the Groveville World War I and World War II Memorials that I just received. These are great clear photos.
This Photo of the World War I Memorial was taken, November 16, 1943. The building to the right is the Groveville United Methodist Church Parsonage. The building to the rear was a small one car garage. .
The large tree behind the Memorial was on the edge of the Groveville Fire Company Baseball Field. The tree was a Mulberry Tree, white Mulberries. They were so sweet we would eat them till we got sick, but we had to beat the birds to the good ones.
This is a great photo of the World War II Memorial. This photo is so clear that when I enlarge it I can read all of the names very clear, this is great. I stated before that at this time the Memorial was located Next to the Post Office (now beauty shop) on Church Street. The Memorial was later moved across Church Street to a location between the World War I Memorial and the old Community House.
.
On the original location a small Cape Cod style house was build by Catharine Crider, which still remains today.
.
The Memorial remained on Church Street until 1957, when the Community House and the Memorial were removed to make way for the Groveville United Methodist Church Educational Building, constructed in 1958. The Memorial was never rebuilt, but a hand copied plaque remains in the Educational Building.
