Saturday was an ideal day in Den
ison for the observance of memorial
day and large number of people
took advantage of the fine day to at
tend the exercises at Oakland Gene
terry.
AS usual there was procession to
the cemetery, which formed at $3.50
in the morning on Broadway, under
the charge of Marshal of the Day Jas.
Armstrong, one of the veterans of the
Spanish American war; First in the
procession came the old veterans in
automobiles, then the Woman's Relief
Corps and Sons of Veterans, and then
other citizens in automobiles and car
riages.
Oakland cemetery never looked bet
ter than it did on that morning and
there were several hundred people
present to listen to the impressive
services when the G. A. R., w. r. C.
and Sons of Veterans gave their re-
spective ritualistic services. Some
OF the members of the w. r. c. had
journeyed out to the silent city of the
dead early in the morning and decor
ated the cenotaph with beautiful
spring flowers and ferns and at the
proper time it was strewn over with
flowers, symbolizing the decoration in
spirit of the grave OF every union SOL
der who died on the battle field or
since the war. The services at the
cemetery were most impressive.
In the afternoon exercises were held
at the old Germania opera house and
the address of the afternoon was made
by Mr.. Jacob Sims, who told in most
interesting manner the benefits com
ing from the great sacrifice of the
mel and women of the north in 1860
Is. His address was particularly
strong one and was SO much enjoyed
that a vote OF thanks was rendered
him by those present.
A pleasing feature of the afternoon
entertainment was the reading of the
prize essay on Our Flag" The first
prize was won by Miss Evelyn Vassar.
the eleven year old daughter of Mr..
Leon Vassar. The Review is pleased
to furnish its readers with this excel
lent essay, which will be found on the
first page OF the second section.
Adjt. John l.. Richardson read the
