TO HONOR PATRIOTIC DEAD.

The ssDavid Humphreys Branch, Connecticut Society Sons of the American Revoi utiOn,, and the Sec. ond Company Governors Foot
 Guard to Decorate the Graves of Revolutionary Heroes.
 The reorganization of the Second com pany of Governors Foot Guard has revived intereat in its splendid his- tory. The present membership, composed largely of men who served in the last war or in the National Guard of this and other states, as they ponder the record of the company, realize the exceptional character of the command they have joined, and are willing and proud to do their utmost to make 1t an organization the state, and es- pecially this city, may take pride in.
 In April, 1775. the Foot Guard marched from the "green" in this city to join the other s'minute men" at Boston. On it's march through Pomfret, Israel Putnam ''fell in" and accompanied the command to the objective point.
 Fifty eight loyal, patriotic young men were in the rsnks, the best New Haven could produce. The command was well armed, and what WAS unusual at that time, l handsomely uniformed. Because of their | fine discipline and appearance they were | selected to perform special duty on differ | ent occasions during the tour of duty at | Boston.
 1 Twenty-Five or more, of the fifty eight | original members, are buried in the Grove street cemetery. To do honor to these l patriots the Sscond company, Governors Foot Guard, at the monthly meeting June 1, unanimously voted:-
 That committee of three bs appointed by the major commanding to confer with ] the executive committee of the "David l Humphrey Branch, Connecticut Society | Sons of the American Revolution" with 6 l view to invite said organization to unite with this command in decorating the graves of those who marched from New Haven in the ranks of our historic com pany, April, 1775, in response to the "Lsxington alarm," and such other illus triots of the Revolutionary era as may bt found in the Grove street cemetery, tn, ceremony being intended ss an expression of our respect for the memory and deed' of the "Fathers of the Rspublic," and ts mark the anniversary of the first battle fol freedom, Bunker Hill."
