Comments
They might have brought down the horrible signs that they had on every single road leading into town but the sentiment remained the whole time that any of my family lived there. There were signs at both towns. [Assumption and Pana] I have seen pictures of the ones in pana, and as a teenager I had the occasion to see the one that was on the road dunkel road leading into assumption. (From a resident who lived in Assumption during the 1970s and 1980s.)
