were splitting out shells faster than
one could count all reminding one OF

Other Memorial
Days Than Ours

Memorial day, which is celebrated on
May so in almost every state of our
Union, has been set apart by statute
as a special day for decorating the
graves of the nations soldiers and for
holding appropriate exercises in their
memory. While it originally sprang
from a spontaneous desire to do honor
to the heroes who fell in the civil war,
still it is now celebrated in honor OF
all the soldier dead, that their heroism
and sacrifices may never be forgotten.
It is interesting to trace the origin
Of this holiday. for, like many another
modern institution, it goes back to the
early days of civilization. We have
been celebrating it with a special sig
nificance since the civil war. and yet
upon examining it we find the adapta-
ton of an ancient custom rather than
the expression of a new idea. In fact,
days set aside for ceremonies to honor
the dead are intimately connected with
all races.
The pagan Greeks held sacred rites
at the graves of their dead and made

In Memory Charles ROsChi.

Charles Roschi was born in Du-
buque, Iowa, Oct. Is, 1861. Soon
after he moved with his parents on
a farm near Burton, Wis, where he
grew to manhood. In 1886 he was
united in marriage to Miss Lille
Reed. This couple, by hard work
and careful management, had
established them fine home on their
farm one mile east of Mccartney,
where deceased passed away May 9,
1915. Deceased has been in poor
health for some time but attended to
his farm work until two weeks be-
fore his death which came as a shock
to the community in which he was
held in nigh esteem. To this union
one child. Leland Earl, was born.
Charles united with the NJ. E. church
at Burton in early manhood and was
an earnest christian worker until his
death. He was an honest, upright
and honorable man and with his
passing away this neighborhood loses
a good man whose place cannot be
filled. No night was ever too dark
or too stormy but what Charles was
ready at word for help to leave his
bed and go to some ones assistance.
Many beautiful floral offerings were
given by those that loved him. He
was a member of the local M. w

offerings of olives and flowers. A for
al wreath was placed ut the head of
the grave. and if a bloom sprang from
the mound it was considered a sign Of
the happiness of the departed one.
In Rome a similar festival was held
for several days in February. 1t was
known as the Parentalia. During this
celebration the temples We're closed
and the last day offerings were made
at the tombS. These consisted of milk,
honey, fruit, wine and other things,
while flowers of every variety were
used in profuse decoration.
The druids held a memorial service
in the autumn on the eve of the
Thanksgiving feast, while the ancient
people of Japan and China had serv-
ice for the dead called the feast OF
lanterns.
After the various nations embraced
Christianity this custom became more
widespread and the nature of its cele-
bration changed materially. The spirit
uaI side of the day became the upper
most feature, and this led directly to
the founding of ALI Souls day. This is
observed in our own country strictly
In a religious manner, but In many
places In Europe it includes the deco
! ration of flowers in addition to the
spiritual exercises. In France, for sew
eraI days before the feast, wreaths and
punches of immortelles, dyed in various
colors, are seen in the shop windows.
In Italy the celebration is very much
like that i'm France, but perhaps little
more attention is paid to the material
celebration. Wreaths are often made
of metal, and. while more durable,
they hardly possess the charm or
| beauty Of real leaves and flowers.
