Magna City World War I Memorial

Magna existed to mill copper. By the First World War, most of the men who crushed and floated Bingham's ore into concentrate lived here, in a mill town stitched from a dozen homelands — Greeks, Italians, South Slavs, Finns, Japanese — drawn by what the mills paid. The Great War doubled the demand for their copper and took some of their sons overseas. This monument keeps the names of the Magna men who went to that war and never returned to the mill town that had so recently taken them in.
