100 years ago: Grant Township enjoys new C.P.A. hall

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Nov. 24, 1911:

“The new C.P.A. Hall at Midland for the Grant Township organization was used for the first time last evening. It was no big occasion but just the first meeting of the Grant Township C.P.A. in its new home, and a fine one at that. It has a metal ceiling, cloak room, property room and everything else desirable.”
