A few years ago, when was about six years
old, the school children were going to ride out
to the cemetery in the procession behind the
soldiers L rode in the omnibus with few
other children and my teacher. and all had
punches Of flowers; mine were violets.
When we arrived we watched the soldiers
shooting for while and then put my flowers
In the graves of my sister and grandma, and
then walked around to see the other graves and
head stones. saw a great many graves with
flowers on them. Some of the graves Of old sol
diers had flags on them. saw some very big
grave stones and felt very small beside them.
After a while saw some ladies with pans OF
flowers which they put on the graves Of soldiers.
Then my teacher called me and climbed into
the omnibus and rode to the school, and from
there walked home had very nice time

church, last Sunday morning, and as
nearly every pew was occupied, it
seemed to give to Rev A. II. Post a
spirit of earnestness and zeal to impart
the word of life in the most effectual
manner, and he gave us sermon upon
Goods Ownership" "Whether we
live, we live unto the Lord, or whether
we die, we die unto the Lord" in such
a simple manner that every child could
understand, but in such an earnest
heartfelt way, it proved interesting to
all in listening and it seemed to be a
typical New England church service in
