MEMORIAL DAY ORDERS.
HEADQUARTERS d. L. Weare Post, No. SO, g. A.
r., East Sullivan. General orders Nos.
Memorial Day is again drawing near, and
with its approach our thoughts go back to
our dear departed comrades, who gave their
lives on the field of battle, in the prison pen,
and to those who returned to their home and
died there in the peace of after years,
Some of these sleep in the peaceful ceme-
teries of their own native town, while many
are sleeping where they fell in the battle in
the sunny south land. Many are in graves
unknown, yet our thoughts go out to them,
as each succeeding Memorial Day draws near,
and the memory of their heroic deeds will
never die but will be perpetuated for time
immortal.
Therefore on May 80 we will assemble once
more to renew our 7ow of allegiance and
visit the resting place of our honored dead,
placing on each mound the lovely spring
flowers and that most fitting tribute, the little
flag miniature of the banner for which these
men SO freely gave their lives, in the great
struggle for a free and undivided country.
How many brave man plunged into the
battle smoke and sprang up the side of a
breastworks, bearing aloft the glorious BAN
ner of his country, and fell, dead or wounded,
while another comrade seized the banner
from his nerveless hands and rushed on, per-
haps to be shot also. But how many willing
hands there were to bear the flag in the face
of shot and shell until it waved triumphantly
from the conquered enemy's breastworks.
The G. A. R. is growing smaller each year, and
soon all the old comrades will have been
called home; so, comrades, while we are per-
mitted to remain here let US never cease to
honor and perpetuate the deeds Of our COM
rades who have gone on before.
We will assemble at the church at South
Gouldsboro on May 80 and form in line OF
march at 10 O'Clock q m, proceeding first to the
cemetery, where d. L. Weare post, assisted
by Fair Oaks camp, s Of ", will hold SER
vices, thence to the waterfront, where the w.
R. c., assisted by the G. A. R. and S. of ", will
hold services for the dead sailors and marines.
Returning to the church dinner will be
served.
Afternoon services will begin at 2 O'Clock
Rev. N. R. Pearson, of waldoboro, will be the
speaker of the day, and the Lamoine band
will accompany the line of march and render
selections during services in the church.
All military and civic orders and school
children are most cordially invited to form in
line of march. All flags shall be flown at
masthead, as by vote by national encamp-
ment the usual manner of flying at half mast
has been discontinued.
have detailed comrades to decorate all SOL
diers' graves found in the limits Of Sullivan,
