FOR Dead
Memorial Day Fittfngly Observed by
Comrades and Friends.
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Absence of Holiday Features Enhances th e
Beauty and Solemnity of the
Occasion,

To the old soldiers, yesterdays OBJ
servance of Memorial Day was one OF
| the most solemn, impressive and alto
gether appropriate services ever held
here. Threatening weather prevented
the usual crowd of the curious and care
less, and those who went to the GENE
terry went with hearts fully in sympathy
with the occasion and all that it means
of sadness and of love.
MIR w. A. Nc Henry was the marshal
of the day and the procession was
formed and marched to the cemetery in
the order announced in our last issue.
The Denison Cadets in their handsome
white uniforms led as an escort of hon
or. The Sons of Veterans, the g. A. r.,
the w. r. c., and interested citizens
followed in the order named.
Upon arriving at the cemetery a
square was formed about the centotaph
and the exercises opened with the in
spring hymn Nearer My God to
Thee" The beautiful prayer for the
dead was given by Post Chaplain NJ. L.
Branch and the charge was read by
Commander J. L. Mcclellan. Col. A,
Q. Weeks responded on behalf of the
Sons of Veterans. The Cadets then
fired the solemn salute to the dead, and
the centotaph representing the graves
of all the soldier dead was tenderly
decorated. The triumphant song
America was sung by all, and the
exercises at the centotaph closed with a
benediction by Rev. A. G. Martyr.
From the centotaph the bands of low
ing ones passed from mound to mound
decorating the graves of Denison's
dead veterans. At each grave flowers
were strewn and members of the Relief
Corps responded with sentiments of
loving remembrance. There are TWEEN
ty-three union veterans sleeping in
Denison's cemetery and two others,
equally as brave and loyal, lie beneath
the sod in the Catholic burial grounds.
They We're not forgotten as delegations
of comrades had previously decorated
their graves. Memorial Day as sacred
solemn day of sorrow for the dead and
of joy for the Union which they saved
has never been more appropriately OBJ
served.

DIED.

Mr.. j. L. Nicholson, father of the
Nicholson Bros, who are so we'll known
throughout this county, died at the
home of his son B. Y. Nicholson, on
Sunday morning, May ssth, 1899. Mr..
Nicholson was over eighty years of age
and was native Of Ohio. He has lived
in New Sharon, Iowa. for many years
and it is there that his family of sons
was raised to splendid manhood Last
fall he came to visit his sons in Denison
and his failing health forbade his tax
ing the home journey again in life
Personally we did not know MIR. Mich
olson, but we know from the character
of his children that he was grand and
noble man. We can imagine no more
blessed old age than was his Sur
rounded on every hand by love and
kindness; seeing his sons successful and
and prosperous and much esteemed.
Undeplived even in his old age of his
wifes loving presence. We repeat that
we eau imagine no existence crowned
with richer blessings His loving wife
and devoted sons will miss him sadly
but will have the consciousness that
they contributed continually to his joy
in life and robbed death of it's sting.
The remains were taken to New Sharon
for burial on Monday morning and we
regret that the absence of the mem
bers of his family prevents us from Civ
ing more of the data of his well-spent
and successful life.
