Dear Monument Australia visitors, we are a self-funded, non-profit organisation, dedicated to recording monuments throughout Australia. Over time the costs of maintaining this website have risen substantially (in fact they are probably larger than those of many companies who exist for profit). In the past we have borne all the costs associated with maintaining the website but we are now having difficulties in paying the monthly expenses.
If Monument Australia is useful to you, please make a donation to keep this historical and educational resource available. Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Merton Memorial HallPrint Page 
The hall commemorates those who served in World War One. It was originally opened in 1923 and additions were added in 1952. The hall fell into disrepair and was renovated and re-opened in April 2017.
A dance in aid of the Memorial Hall, which is to be erected in Merton in honor of our returned soldiers, was held on Monday, 29th December, Mrs Jas.Hoare, of "Enderlie," kindly giving her residence for the occasion. There was a large gathering, people coming long distances from Yarck, Bonnie Doon, and Strathbogie to be present. Dancing was carried on in two rooms, another being set aside for cards, and a sit-down supper laid out in another room.
Mr C. Bird kindly gave his services at the piano Misses Dolling, McGrath, Barnes, and Mr H. Hewish also helped with the music. Messrs Armstrong Bros. gave several songs which were much enjoyed. The ladies supplied the refreshments to which all did full justice. Dancing was kep tup till daylight, Mr D, Hoare acting as M.C.in his usual efficient manner. Too much praise cannot be given to Mrs Hoare and family for the trouble taken to make all enjoy themselves.The hall funds will benefit to the extent of over £4, which, considering the hurried notice preventing the attendance of many, was most satisfactory.
Euroa Advertiser (Vic), 30 January 1920.
