KEOSAUQUA LOST NO
VETERAN LAST YEAR

Keosauqua, June 2.-Memorial day
was both flttingly and beautifully OBJ
served at KeOsauqua. The day was
an ideal one and it seemed that nature
had sent her best blossoms for this
day.
Early Saturday morning members Of
the G. A. r. could be seen vending
their way through the cemeteries Wis
iting the graves of the soldiers, gar
landing them with beautiful flowers,
also raising, to float above their life
less forms the stars and stripes which
they had so CALAMITY defended. At
exactly - o'clock the church bells
tolled in honor of the nations dead. At
lis p. m. the procession was formed
at the G. A. r. hall headed by mar
tial band then the home guards, the G..
A. R. the school children, the A. F. &
A. M. and I. 0. o. F. orders. They
marched to the river bridge where
they dropped a flower into the water in
memory of those who were buried be-
meath the sea, thence back to the G.. A..
r. hall, down Wont street thence to
the monument ground where the G.. A..
r. conducted their memorial service.
The march was then taken up and
each person left bunch of fresh bios
SONS at the Soldiers monument and
marched on to the court house park
where an immense crowd was gather
ed, the largest present in many years.
Appropriate music was rendered by a
large choir. The principtl address be-
ing made by Ross Calhoun of Calves
ton, Texas, who is a member of the G..
A. r. and Ed H. L. Lewis of the
Christian church.
1t was noticed that fewer soldiers
were in the line Of march this year
than last, some being too feeble. The
absence of veteran of two wars, both
the Mexican and the Civil, Samuel
Mnnick. was much regretted he being
too feeble to stand the walk. The
presence of Capt. w. A. Duckworth
OF Des ~Moines was noted with pleas
ure. There was not one new grave to
decorate this year. the entire year
having passed without the loss Of a
single comrade.
