FALLEN HEROES.
Their Memory Sacredly Cherished

Their Memory Sacredly Cherished
Never did Owosso observe Memorial Day
better than on Tuesday. The day itself
was beautiful one, the rain of the previous
night made the roads in fine shape for
marching and brought out to perfection
the beauties of nature. The citizens of
Owosso love to do honor to those who gave
their lives for their country and those who
have passed away since the return home;
their deeds of valor will be remembered
long after every comrade has answered the
last call. Memorial Day will ever be OBJ
served by grateful people. In Owosso
the custom has now become thoroughly es-
tablished for the citizens to take charge of
the arrangements, an example other places
may we'll follow.
Nearly every business place and all the
factories were closed on Tuesday, the ma
tional cOlOrs were seen on every hand.
The attendance at the exercises in the after
noon was the largest since the day has been
observed in Owosso, it seeming as though
the entire population had turned out.
The line of march formed at 1:3O in the
following order: Bicycle club, Modern
Woodmen, Girls with flowers, Officers of the
Day and Speaker, City Band, Owosso Light
Infantry, Patriarchs Militant, 40. u. W.,
Uniformed Rank K. of p, K. o. T. NJ.
Arbeiter Society, Clerks Union, Boys
Brigade. G. A. R., w. r. c., Citizens in
Carriages. The procession was long one
and made an excellent appearance.
AT the grounds it was impossible for all
who wanted to hear the exercises to get
near enough to the speakers stand. The
program opened with music by the band,
prayer by Rev. +. b. Bancroft, song by the
glee club, followed by part of the ritual
service of the Grand Army of the Republic,
reading by Supt. j. w. Simmons. Presi-
dent Whipple next introduced the orator of
the day, Hon. A. E. Ewing, Of Hillsdale, a
young man who has made for himself an
enviable record in the present legislature.
He spoke as one of the younger generation
who knew nothing of the hardships of war,
yet he thoroughly appreciated the valor and
patriotism of those who passed through the
terrible struggle. He urged that the men,
ory of the dead ever be cherished, that on
each returning year their graves be covered
with flowers. His entire address was we'll
received, being especially pleasing to the
old soldiers from whom he received many
compliments After the singing of 'Ameri-
ca" Rev. E. l.. Little pronounced the bene-
diction and then the people dispersed to
decorate the graves. The Post completed
its service at the G. A. r. lot. The entire
program and all the exercises of the day
were complete success, rejecting credit
on those who had charge.

Death of Bruce Buckminster.

The community was shocked on Saturday
morning by the news of the death of Bruce
Buckminster. The day before he had been
around as well as usual, going to Corunna
and to other parts of the county to do busi-
ness. Saturday morning when Mrs. Buck
minister arose he told of his plans for the
day and asked her to have his nephew,
Bruce Bartlett, get the team ready for him
to drive to Bancroft. When breakfast was
ready he was called and responded. Not
getting up Mrs. Buckminster went again to
call him and found him dead. The cause
of his death was heart disease, with which
he had been troubled for years. His age
was 4S years.
Mr.. Buckminster had been for number oi
years past well known and prominent citi-
zen of this county, being acquainted with
most OF the farmers, with whom he had
done an extensive business, buying cattle,
sheep, hay and other farm produce of them.
He was one of the stock holders and q
director In the Owosso Savings Bank. BY
hard work and dint of energy he had &C.
cumulated neat fortune.

but few days, of apoplexy. He was to
have delivered the Memorial Day address,
it having been customary for him to take
this part in the exercises for a number of

all the doctors medicine and travelled with
him all over that part of the country. Fox
studied medicine in Buffalo, and graduated
at the Union college at Schenectady, n. Y.
in Livingston county, beginning general
practice. He continued there until 1862,
when he entered the army as surgeon. He
was appointed assistant surgeon of the
Twenty Michigan Infantry by Gov.
Wisner. In this capacity he served until
June, 1868, when he was made surgeon of
the Eighth Michigan Infantry until the
close of the war. While in the Twenty
second regiment, after Morgan's raid in
Kentucky, he organized the hospitals al
Lexington, KY. In September, 1864, he
was made surgeon-in-chief of the field in
front of Petersburg, and continued in that
position until he was discharged July 90
1865.
He was at AppomattoX with his hospital
corps, and was by invitation of Gen. Sheri
dan, witness of the making of the terms
of peace between Grant and Lee. 1t is sale
that during the war he amputated 900(
limbs and conducted $4,000 other opera
tions. At the close of the civil war he re
turned to Michigan, buying 500 acres o
land near this place. In 1877 he came Il
this village.
