In approximately 1924 this memorial was erected on behalf of the local branch of the Imperial Order of the Daughters of the Empire (I.O.D.E.) and dedicated to the local war dead of the First World War. Inscriptions were later added to honour the local veterans of the Second World War and the Korean War and, in October 1986, the stele was relocated from a location near the old municipal courthouse to its current location.

In the summer 1945, a motion was passed that would lead to the establishment of the Warner Memorial Library. A committee solicited the help of the community who responded enthusiastically. In 1945, the library was incorporated and throughout 1946, money and books were donated. The Elks Club made the ladies' cloak room in their hall available to house the 650 donated books and on March 29, 1947, the library was operating.

The Warner Lions Club planned for a permanent library building and purchased an Air Force building from the Canadian Forces Base in Lethbridge. With volunteer help, the building was torn down and set up on a donated lot. The Warner Memorial Library was officially opened January 16, 1951 as a memorial to those men and women who were the builders of the community and to those who served their country in the wars.

Shortly after the death of Albert Mountain Horse, his older brothers Mike and Joe enlisted in the First World War. Albert had died one day after his return to Canada on 19 November 1915. He was hospitalized because of gas poisoning and, with acute respiratory distress, contracted tuberculosis.

Mike was buried alive for four days at Cambrai in October 1917, for which he was hospitalized for shell shock. He returned to action, was wounded twice, became a sergeant and won the Distinguished Conduct Medal for bravery.

Mike Mountain Horse Elementary School was named in honour of Mike in 1986.
