MEMORIAL CLOCK TOWER |
|
Wainwright, Alberta
In 1925, the memorial clock was dedicated by the Walter Musson Charter, The Imperial Order Daughters of the Empire, to
the men that fought and were lost in World War I. Mr. Frank Balley was the stonemason who built this tower and also did
the architectural design for it. The stones were gathered by the school children from town and also farmers bringing
in some when they came to town. They say most of the rocks that the school children gathered were from
Norman Cooper's farm a little ways east of town. The clock that was installed into this Cenotaph came from England and
was run from batteries until the main street was paved in 1958-1959 when it was changed over to electric.
