An effort to erect a memorial with the names of the victims of the 1913 Italian Hall tragedy is one step closer to being put in place.
The Calumet Village Council approved a committee recommendation to order a seven foot by four foot slab of black granite.
It will take about three months for the slab to arrive.
The names of the victims as researched by the Houghton-Keweenaw Genealogical Society will then be engraved in the stone.
The $14,000 monument will be paid for in part by a donation from the Genealogical Society, the village and contributions from members of the community.
The memorial is expected to be dedicated this summer.
