A la rg e c o lo r f u l,
beautiful landscape picture
was recently donated to the
lone Legion Post for display
in the Legion Hall in lone. The

M arlene E ubanks Pointer.
Local artist, and friend o f the
fam ily , T onya H e id e m a n
painted the picture.
W alter Eubanks was
ju st a very young m an when
the Legion Hall was built back
in the early 1900s. The family
story is that he loved to skate
and the hall was to be opened
for roller-skating when finished.
Young Walt w ould eagerly
w atch the building progress
and offer to help if they would
let him. W hen it w as finally
finished, he was there every
day to ro lle r sk ate on its
beautiful hardwood floors and
enjoy the many other activities
centered there.
Howard Eubanks was
a V eteran o f W orld W ar I
serving in the Pacific as a
M erchant M arine after being
conscripted into the Navy.
A fte r th e w a r e n d e d , he
becam e an active m em ber o f
the lone Legion Post. He was
the oldest m em ber just before
his death in Septem ber 2001.
The lone Legion has
been used for m any purposes
over the years, H ow ard and
Annabelle M cCabe Eubanks
attended many. “'The memories
o f being danced around the
floor began w hen 1 w as only
about 2 years old. M y father
w ould take m e o ff the top o f
the coat pile w here 1 w as

receptions, dinners, prom s,
m eetings and m ost recently
school lunches in the Legion
H all. Each tim e, I relived
memories as 1 walked into and
enjoyed the building,” recalls
Marlene Pointer.
The donated picture
had hung for 13 years in the
O ld lo n e S chool b u ild in g
slated to be destroyed on July
22, 2003. The im age is o f a
peaceful pasture scene with a
red bam, a fitting memonal for
this local fam ily and farm -
