Piece of history

Neil Trout of Motley points to a decorative piece of concrete that was originally part of the former Motley High School built around 1906. Neil and his brother, Leon, were hired to build this monument for Veteran's Park in Motley about 30 years ago; and were asked to include this piece from the old school. "Most people probably don't know the history of it," Neil said recently, at the Two Rivers Music Fest in Motley. (Staples World photo by Dawn Schimpp Timbs)
