The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1920-09-10
TANEYTOWN.

clement On Monday afternoon at 1.30
and the plans for the unveiling of the
Soldiers Memorial were to certain
extent interfered with. The program
was rendered in the Opera House as
follows: Singing, America" prayer
by Rev. Guy P. Bready, and address
! by Mr.. William f. Williams, of Bal
timore, which was very much appre-
ciated, and quite pointed. Although
Mr.. Williams was very modest, and did
not claim to be an orator or even a
public speaker, judging from his ex-
cellent address we think he must be
both; singing the "Star SpangIed
Banner" after which the former Sol
diers in uniform the committee in
charge and the two young ladies, Miss
Mary " Hesson and Miss Edith Smith
followed by the crowd, proceeded to
the memorial, and the rest OF the ex-
ercises We're completed. The roll was
called by Rev. Father III. A. Quinn,
after which he recited poem, and
as the roll was called for those who
gave their lives for their country,
four ex-service men, Carroll and Earl
Koons, Walter Crapster and Jas. G.
Myers, placed a bouquet of flowers in
the monument in their honor after
which prayer was offered and the ben
ediction pronounced by Rev. T.. B.
Hafer, although the weather was un-
favorable, when the final exercises
were completed the sun was shining.
The cost of the memorial was
$131O, the amount subscribed by the
time of the unveiling was s1294.40..
The memorial is of a good quality
OF granite, with a solid bronze tablet
42x26 with the names of those who
