The
Civil War monument committee will meet Monday evening at the
Logan County Genealogical & Historical Society building to discuss
what direction they should follow in restoring the old soldier
monument destroyed by a December 2008 storm. The question is whether
the new monument should be made of bronze or stone. You can cast
your vote by e-mailing
poll@lincolndailynews.com and in the subject line state stone
or bronze. On Monday the results will be added and the files
deleted, so you have no worry that your e-mail will end up on some
mailing list.
