Decoration Day was formally observ-
ed in our town, in the decoration of the |
graves of our fallen brave soldiers. Col. |
Tracy was active in enlisting the feelings
of the ladies in procuring flowers for the
sacred services. In this he was material
ly aided by Mrs. Walter W. Pierce, and
Mrs. B. s. Beckwith and others, who are
richly deserving the thanks of our COM
munity for their labor of love and memo
rails of affection so freely given.
The services on decoration day at
Weybridge Lower Falls were of highly
interesting character. The large Metho-
dist church was filled with people from
Weybridge and surrounding towns, and
were, at the appointed hour, called to Or
der by G. B. Harrington, Egg. An earn
est and fervent prayer was offered up by
Rev. Mr.. Davis, followed by singing by
the choir of appropriate hymns. The as
sembly was then addressed by Ira W.
Clark, Esq., E. A. Sturtevant, Esq, and
James M. Slsde, Jr., in speeches full of
thought pertinent to the occasion. After
the exercises were concluded at the church,
the congregation formed into procession,
headed by martial music, and each carry
ing flowers, proceeded to the graves
one quarter of a mile from the church
where the brave sons who gave their lives
for our beloved country, lie buried, and
covered them with flowers. The day was
very warm, but notwithstanding, all
seemed DESTROYS to contribute to the gen.
srsl interest of the occasion. Weybridge
holds in grateful romomprance the deeds
Of her brave sons who went forth to bat
lie for country's life and liberty. They
ire dead but not forgotten. and annually
will their last resting place receive the
homage of loving, loyal hearts and the
precious mementoes of love and affection. !
10 town in our county has q better or

he rebellion, they poured out their money

furnished men as fast as called upon, pay c

be sacrifice made by these men, while 7
hose that died in defence of liberty are
in the hearts of her people, and
heir graves to-day show that grateful :
eople have not forgotten to honor their Z
arthly remains, not merely with lip SER
ice, but with tangible proofs of conf =
enoe and love. The flowers that rest :,
pom their last resting place will fade and :,
lie, but their memory will run parallel h
