GRAVES DECORATED YESTER-
DAY.
BY Veteran Firemen, p. 0. s. Of A.
and st. Aloysius II. A. b.


yesterday afternoon performed it's an
nual decoration of the graves of de-
ceased members. The list of deceased
members was published in the Journal
and Courier last Saturday. Charles
Hall of Whitneyyille was delegated to
decorate the Veteran Firemen's graves
in Grove street cemetery, and put
flowers and wreaths on the grave of L.
S. Hemingway, first chief of the de-
partment. Being unable to find the
graves of all the volunteer flremen in
the cemetery, Mr.. Hall placed the
flowers on this grave as representative
of the rest. The day being so hot, and
many of the volunteers being old and
unable to stand the heat not so many
turned out as they would otherwise I'M
doubtedly have done. AS it was, how
ever, fourteen turned out. They were
Mr.. Corbosier, president of the associa-
ton; Assessor Charles A. Baldwin,
Theodore Cooper, William johnson,
Joel E. Bassett, Henry T. Mix, George
b. Miller, William Belden, Charles E.
Hayes, Mr.. Stewart and others. All
of these are residents of New Haven
with the exception of Mr.. Bassett, who
resides in North Haven.
The firemen's monument in Ever
green cemetery was profusely deco
rated, the sides and base being piled
high with cut flowers and wreaths.
The grave of the late Hon. Hiram
Camp, chief engineer, was also deco
rated, three bouquets and a number Of
wreaths being placed thereon. The col
lection of flowers secured by the asso-
citation for decorative purposes was an
unusually large and fine one. The as
ISOLATION desires to return thanks to
all who gave flowers. especially to Reh-
bein, the florist, who gave five wreaths
and three fine bouquets, to Mrs Com
fort S. Farren, who gave two basquets
of fine flowers, and to Mrs. Ella Bas-
sett of Exchange street, Fair Haven,
who gave bouquets and cut flowers.
