DAVIS CRY IOWA lime % 19O8

DAVIS CITY, Iowa, June %, 1908.
EDITOR RRPORTER:-We desire to
thank the brothers from distance who
assisted with our Odd Fellows Decor
alton services last Sunday afternoon.
The day was delightful and there was
about sixty of the brethren and 30 to
40 of the members of the r. Of r. lodge
met at the Odd Fellows hall, and after
forming in line headed by the Lamont
band, marched to both cemeteries where
the ritualistic services were rendered
in the presence of large crowd of
spectators. On their return from the
|. o. 0. b. cemetery the line of march
brought US past the home of brother
Dock Daniels, who has been confined to
his home for ten years by affection, and
the procession was halted and while the
band played several fine selections the
brothers and sisters went in to greet
him, followed by the people in general.
Brother Daniels sitting in his chair
with tears streaming down his cheeks
tried to express his thanks but words
failed him. When the Header of the
band requested the boys to play "March-
ing Through Georgia" as Brother Dan
iels is veteran of the civil war, it
brought him to his feet, and leaning on
his cane he tried to cheer, but again
words failed him. After wishing him
many more such greetings the process
sion again formed and marched back to
the hall where the closing ceremonies
were held in honor of our departed
brethren. The band then played some
fine music in the park and we wish to
say that the Lamont band is composed
of as fine a lot of gentlemen and can
