DECORATION DAY N EBEN~ This
popular day of patriotic observance was not
permitted to pass without due recognition i'm
this community. In pursuance of previous
arrangement, the majority Of the business
houses were closed, and at O'Clock nearly
all the people OF Ebensburg and vicinity

Court House where an eloquent and patriotic

enthusiastic response in the hearts of all as

where each of the graves of the fallen sol

, was an arch which cOmmemorated the mem

others.
, Owing to a concatenation of circumstance
which Is to be deplOred, no clergyman wa,

but their time and attention was somehow
diverted just then in other directions.
