MEMORIAL DAY. The dull skies, fire.
quent showers, low temperature, the
thinning ranks of the G, A. R., and pres
ent day war conditions made the Memo
rial Day of 1917 one of the saddest ip it's
history. Committees from the various
G. A. R. bodies visited Grove cemetery
and others in the outlying districts in
the morning to mark all the graves of
fallen members with flags and sprays of
green. The Boy Scouts and children
of the G. A. R. societies went to the
lower bridge to scatter flowers on the
water in memory of the sailors. At
p. M, the line of march under the
direction of Orrin j. Dickey, was formed
on Church street in front of Memorial
hall in the following order: Marshal, j..
Harvey Stinson, aid, Albert X. Fogg;
police platoon; A. E. Clark Camp, S. of
"; Tarratine Tribe of Red Men; Boy
Scouts; Thomas H. Marshall Post, G. A..
r., and allied bodies; City Government;
Belfast Board of Trade and Fire Depart
ment. Through some misunderstanding
the carriage for Thomas H. Marshall
Circle, Ladies of the G. A. R., did not
come in time and after twenty minutes
wait the line of march was taken up in
the order previously announced. The
exercises at Grove Cemetery were at the
G. A. R., lot, where the flag was floating
at half mast from the staff and the mound
to the unknown dead was covered with
green, and the graves of Post members
marked with small flags. The line was
reformed and marched to the hall, where
it was disbanded to 60 to the Opera House
for the address by Mayor Edgar F. Han
son and the regular exercises. The
Journal goes to press too early to report
the hall program.
