Veteran's Memorial Dedication - Illinois City 

We are proud of all the veterans in our community and proud of the group who tirelessly supported getting this memorial completed and with such beauty for this small corner of Illinois City.   

We thank all the veterans for the sacrifices that you have made to keep our country safe and free.  And we pray that more brave men and women will continue to be willing to put their time and lives on the line for us in the future as well.  Our constituents in Drury township sincerely thank you for all you have done. 

TOWNSHIP RIGHT-OF-WAY

A couple of instances have occurred in the township regarding right-of-way for our roads typically occurring in the winter months as it relates to snow removal and keeping our roads clear and safe.  Please refer to the Highway Department section on this website for more information as it relates to the right-of-way for your township roads.  It's important for all citizens of the township to understand the rules and regulations regarding this.
