Regarding Veterans Memorial. Although the context of the marker and brick monument are lost, perhaps there is a historical photo from its dedication or earlier history that will provide that historical context. It may have been a community memorial since the now razed Russellville Methodist Episcopal Church was about 150 feet north and on the opposite side of PA Rt 26.
