July 2, 1933

Dedication ceremonies were held for the Dual State Monument, also known as the Donaghey Monument, which was built in 1931 on the Arkansas-Louisiana state line to commemorate the centennial anniversary of the establishment of the boundary between the two states. It is also a memorial to the birthplace of George Washington Donaghey, governor of Arkansas between 1909 and 1913, who had the memorial constructed and had been born about one mile south of the border. The ceremony was attended by Governor Junius M. Futrell, former acting governor Xenophon O. Pindall, and former governor Charles H. Brough.
