The procession was composed Of various
secret and church societies, national guards
men and others.
A great crowd Of people had gathered in
the Grandvicw cemetery and was crowding
around the speakers platform when the
PROCESSION rot to the end Of its long march.
After the devotional exercises Mayor Rose,
Of lohnstown, introduced Gov Pattison.
Among other things he said; 1--WE meet here
today 10 recall the events cf three years ago.
When we remember the calamity and the
magnitude OF the disaster which visited your
city, we recognize again the human kind
ness that lives in the hearts of the people,
not only here, but the world round They
heard your cry of distress and from the
north and the south, the eas, and the west,
upon the speed Of the wind, relief came 70
you. And so to-day, as we meet, we recall
the wonderful kindness of the human heart
upon all occasions. The old city of Johns
town fell before the food: but the visitor
to-day admires another and more beautiful
city. But noone can recall the lost ones; no
amount Of contribution-no relief that the
people can offer can give back 20 you The as
sociations of those who were by your side;
and all that we can do here to-day is 10 re-
call their memory, recall their pleasant as
sociatiOns, and. as we dedicate this monu-
ment 20 the unknown dead. bear in mind
and keep ever before us the dear associa-
tions ofthe past.
