The San Francisco call., 1898-05-29
WILL HONOR
 THE HEROIC DEAD
MEMORIAL DAY TO BE FIT
 TINGLY CELEBRATED.
A Grand Street Parade and Appro- priate Ceremonies at the
 Cemeteries.

Tomorrow members or Grand Army posts will march to the measured tap of mufhed drums and decorate the graves of the heroes who unheld the standard of the Union in the hour of peril. For some weeks committees from local posts have been making preparations, and they are now about completed. In the gray dawn tomorrow little bands of men will go quietly from mound to mound and implant little flags at the graves of de- parted heroes.
 AS is customary a parade will be held in the morning, but as year by year sees the ranks of the veterans thinning out and their steps growing feebler the line of march will necessarily be short. It will form at Market and New Montgom- cry streets, pass up Market to Golden Gate avenue, to Van Ness, where it will be reviewed and dismissed. The mem bers will then proceed to the various cemeteries, where appropriate exercises will be held, chiefly at the Odd Fellows Light Artillery will be present and fire a salute. The formation will be as fol- lows:
