The ranks of the various posts were thin
ner than usual and silently told the sad
story of the gradual passing away of the
heroes Of the war. Henderson's Drum
and Fife Corps headed Rawlings Post and
the Union League Drum and Fife Corps
made marching music for the members OF
the colored posts.
The absence from the line of Farraglt,
Logan, Thomas, Wilson and Morris was
due to the facts that they were engaged
In decorating graves in cemeteries other
than Arlington.
