MEMORIAL AND DECORATION
SERVICES.

Mr.. J. T. Horseman, of Lancaster,
Ohio. is on visit to acquaintance in
this city. He is accompanied by his
daughter. Miss Margaret j. HOrseman,
who is a cousin of Mrs. J. F. Chichester,
1901 Queen street. Miss HOrseman
has written a letter to the Lancaster
Daily Eagle in which she makes ref
erence to Memorial and Decoration
Day services in this city last month.
Among other things she says;
while my visit has been trimming
full of sweetest pleasures and surprises,
yet nothing has moved me as the
chivalry and patriotism of the sons
and daughters of Virginia soil. May
24is set apart as Confederate Memorial
day. but was deprived of the pleasure
of being present, on account OF dash
ING rain. The services we're to have
been held at the monument erected to
the unknown Confederate dead. The
services were held in Memorial Hall
instead, on account of the rain. Twice
within a week the graves of the dead
have been strewn with beautiful flowers.
The memorial services for the union
dead were in charge of Mr.. w. r.
Graves. a northern soldier, and Miss
Blanch Rotchford, one Of Virginia 5
daughters. Miss Rotchford also had
charge of the Confederate services. She
had under her forty girls and boys,
ranging from four years of age to sew
enteen, and who composed the choir
for both Confederate and Union SER
vices, and the same songs were sung on
each occasion with but little variation.
Wandering through the cemetery we
came upon a young man who was
bending over a grave and moment
later taps" were sounded and | saw
him reverently lay a bouquet upon a
grave. A few moments later | was
presented to him and to the question
ing look upon my face, he said that
for many years he had had very in
innate friend. and that they each had
enlisted in the Spanish-American war
and that according to a compact each
had agreed to place a bouquet and
sound the taps over the grave Of the
one that should meet death first.
Twelve years ago, his friend, Philip
Brisce had died and that he (Lewellyn
Gordon) had each year come over from
Washington and sounded the taps and
placed flowers upon the grave OF his
comrade in arms,
