My name is Bill Gooderham and I have been seeking an artifact (Verona Honour Roll) featuring names of Verona men who served in WWs I and II, which I am told once hung in the Legion in Verona where my grandfather Robert Gooderham was custodian and lived in an apartment above. The Legion closed in 1980. The plaque/scroll is featured on page 205, in the book "Portland My Home" by William Patterson which is available for sale at the South Frontenac Museum in Hartington. The scroll contains the names of my father and his 4 brothers thus my interest. have searched for this item since I became aware of it around 5 or 6 yrs ago. I recently received info that it was hanging in the museum but I visited recently and though the one there is impressive, it is not the one I am looking for. I would like to see it joined by the Verona Honour Roll. I wonder if maybe one of your readers might have knowledge of it's whereabouts. I make no claim to it as there are many names of local folks contained on it. I would merely like to see and photograph it and possibly see it on display where other descendants may know of it's existence rather than have it languish in a basement or attic. I am attaching a copy of it from the book. I would be appreciative of any efforts you could make in this quest.
Regards Bill Gooderham
