monument, to be erected on the public
property on which the Islesboro library
stands, and $500 additional for tablet to
be placed on the library. These are the
amounts determined upon at the earlier
town meeting, held some weeks ago.
Later it appeared that there was division
of opinion regarding the amount neces-
sary for the erection of suitable me-
mortal, many believing that the sums are
considerably in excess of the actual re-
uuirements. The special meeting was
called to give the voters an anopportunity to
rescind the original vote and declare for a
smaller appropriation if they so DESIRED.
The larger memorial will be in the form OF
a monument placed near the spot where
is the grave of Guy Malcolm Yeaton, the
one towns boy who gave his life IN the
great struggle in France. When the body
of the young soldier was brought back to
be placed in grave in his home town, his
parents, Captain and Mrs. John Yeaton,
Welded to the wishes of their townsmen
and permitted the body of their son to find
it's last resting place in the little plot OF
land which is visited daily by the young
and old and where each one who passes
may pay tribute to the towns hero dead.
The larger monument will be inscribed
with data of the military record of young
Yeaton and the smaller tablet on the IL
brary luilding will bear the names of the
other young men who went from lslesboro
to the French battlefieds and to whom
war was kinder than to him who sleeps IN
the spot to be marked as sacred ground.
