CTS OH OtllGT braves.
War veterans and Others renien=
bered the dead heroes of the various
conflicts in founding and maintalng
the republic. when they decorated
the graves OF dead warriors Thurs
day, Memorial Day Flowers were
strewn on all the graves Of the
known deceased men, who fought for
their country independence, lib
erty and the Ike.
Rapidly passing from the earth
to eternity, the ranks of those who
fought in the Civil war were not
large but the patriotism with which
they battled for their country and
flag was burning as brightly as
when the actual conflict was on, but
| it was mellowed with the knowledge
!of reunited country and the bit
iterness of the strife was gone.
younger men who enlisted in the
war with Spain were imbued with
the same spirit that their sires had,
except that it was for a common
country, a reunited nation when
they fought a foreign foe.
Decoration Day for the,upion vet
Grams of the Civil war will soon be
no more as the union survivors will
soon all be. called upon to answer
final taps, but It doubtless will be
for all time as generation after gem
GRAFTON will appreciate the patriotic
lesson it teaches, and SO long as
America remains free and indepen-
dent and the 1and of the free and
the home of the brave it will be well
that the memory Sc those who made
1T such shall be forever.
