ORIGIN and CUSTOM
OF DECORATION DAY
Ceremony Comes From the
Southland.
IDEA IS NOW UNIVERSAL
Brought North by Mrs. Martha G. Kim
bail, Who Witnessed the Attention
Paid Graves of Confederate Dead by
the Women of Dixie.

Every ex-soldier who today partici
pates in memorial exercises at the vari
OTIS cemeteries pau5es in his work o
honor and remembrance to pay silent
tribute OF respect and thankfulness I,
the memory of Mrs. Martha G.. Kimball
who originated the beautiful and i'm
pressive custom OF decorating the
graves OF those who died in defense Of
their country.
The story regarding the inception Of
Mrs. Kimball's idea regarding a nation
| al memorial day and the immediate
steps taken to make it practicable is
short. but none tho less interesting.
In travelling through the South Mrs.
Kimhall noticed that the Southern wom-
en- were assidUous in their attention to
the graves CT Confederate soldiers. AMI
that those of the brave fellows who fell
fighting in the blue were sadly neglect
ed.
II at once occurred to her that 1t might
he possible. with a lively agitation of
the subject. to have day set aside by
the Government on which to look afte.'
the graves of our soldier dead.
With this object in view. she wrote
to Gen. John A. Logan, then commander
in-chicf OF the Grand Army of the Re
public. presenting her views on the sub
Jet with an eloquence that at once
enlisted his active corporation. and re-
suited ultimately in the issuance OF
what is known as Order No. IL, which
went into effect on May 80. 1868. and
established a memorial day.
Three days prior TO the first general
Decoration Day, on May 81. the House
of Representatives passed resolution
the officer in charge of pub
lie buildings and grounds 20 prepare
and transmit. so far as practicable. to
each OF the national Union soldiers

all the public gardens for the purpose
OF decorating the graves of the brave
and hcnored dead. in response to which. |
on the same day. Gen. y. Michler. the |
officer then in charge, informed the COM |
nittec of arrangements that all the |
flowers that could be gathered from |
hose sources would be placed at the |
disposal OF the committee for the very /
audablc object for which they were in

they have ever before been.
Much unfavorabls. comment has beer
INDUCED in by the officers of the G. A
X. recently AT the tendency of persons
to make Decoration Day one of pleasure
and recreation. The day was set aside
by the people as mark of respect tc
the memory of the departed veterans
who gave I'M their lives in the service
OF their country. and it is BETTING that
the people should bear that fact in mind
in planning for the day.
The desecraticn of the day by sports
ana other frivolous occupations has so
annoyed the officers of the veteran or
sanizaticns that the members OF the
Grand Army have recently had under
consideration the ACCESSIBILITY of chang
ing the date TO the Sunday nearest May
80. thus availing themselves OF the sun
cay laws fer the protection OF the day
from dissertation.

by the late General Fairchild. but the
work was not completed until this

The conditions imposed by Congress
are such that it cannot be definitely
stated just how much service each city

are to be put down mileage pay will
begin on them just as soon as any sec
