What a rush OF memories Memorial
day brings 10 those who have fought
and u those who have honored those
who fought and bled and died
What hopes for the future it brings
around each year-prayers that the
fearful Mars is dead at last. that an
end has been put 10 war
Already. it seems, the public has for
gotten the horror of the last war
the war which was fought 10 end
wars. But never will it forget those
who laid down their lives in defense
Of their country.
For, as Kate Brownlee Sherwood
wrote:
When the May has cuIed her flowers for
the summer waiting long.
And the breath Of early roses woos the
hedges into song.
Comes the throb of MARTA! music and thu
banners in the street.
And the marching Of the millions bear
ing garlands fair and sweet
IT'S the Sabbath of the nation, It's the
floral feast o. May.
In remembrance OF our heroes
We keep Memorial day"
The Greeks had a beautiful custom,
history records, of twining flowers on
the monuments of those who had fall
len in battle.
The Roman ceremony over the
graves of the departed was called
"Parentalla," or the day of the fathers.
During the period of "Parentalia" the
temples were closed; the tombs were
profusely decorated Memorial arches
were built and covered with flowers to
honor the heroic dead.
Adapting an earlier heather custom,
Christians later set aside "All Souls
Day" as a time for honoring the dead.
1t was a time to propitiate the souls OF
those thought to be in purgatory. AS
part Of the ceremony of this day the
graves of those who had died within
the year were decorated and libations
were poured upon them.
Memorial day in America followed
the Civil war. Any hatred which may
have survived that period of stress
has been sent to the limbo Of forget
fulness, however. The national capt.
tai, Cheesman II. Herrick says in his
book on Outstanding Days, has wit
messed a joint reunion of Confederate
Veterans and the Grand Army of the
Republic fraternizlng as brothers.
Acting on a suggestion that instead
. -c
soldiers at irregular intervals a uni
form time should be fixed John A.
Logan, commander Of the Grand Army
Of the Republic. in 1868 issued an
order setting aside May 30 for" as he
says, 'strewing with flowers or other
wise decorating the graves of com
rades who died in defense Of their
country"
May 30 became a legal holiday by
congressional action in the District OF
Columbia and in the territories in 1874.
For about twenty years the day COM
monty was called Decoration Day"
but during later years the term has
been Memorial Day" a title, as Mr..
Herrick says. which signifies the
meaning of the act rather than the
act itself
1t was in 1913 that May 80 became
more blessed than ever in the hearts
and the minds of Americans. Ameri-
can blood had been shed in France and
the graves Of the fallen heroes across
the sea were on that day decorated by
their companions in arms. A tribute
Of respect to the dead

In q Memorial day address delivered
10 1879. Caauucey u. Depew told NJ the
origin Of the custom among the women
u the South. = part Of the address
follows
when the war was over in the
South, where, under warmer skies and
with more poetic temperament. sym
bo.s and embiems are better under
stood than in the practical North.
mothers and children Of the Con
federate dead went about and strewed
their graves with flowers, and at many
places the women scattered them i'm
partially also over the unknown and
unmarked resting places of the Union
soldiers.
"As the news Of this touching trib-
ute flashed over the North it reused.
as nothing else could have done, ma
tlonal amlty ard love and allayed sec
uonal animosity and passion. It
thrilled every household where. there
was vacant chair by the freside and
an aching void in the heart for the
lost hero whose remains had never
been found; old wounds broke out
afresh. and in a mingled tempest Of
grief and JOY the family cried: May
be It was our darling
Thus, out of sorrows common alike
to North and South came this beauti-
ful custom. But Memorial day no
longer belongs to those who mourn.
II is the common privilege of US all,
and will be celebrated as long as
gratitude exists and flowers bloom"
There is some doubt as to who de-
serves the honor for having first sug-
gested a memorial day. At least a doz-
en- different women of the South have
claimed it. Mrs. Sue LandOn Vaughn
is often credited with having first ex-
pressed the idea for a general me-
mortal day. April &c, 1865, she led
southern women in strewing with flow
ers the Confederate graves in Vicks-
burg. Three years later May 30 was
adopted throughout the North as
Memorial day Mrs Vaughn died in
1911. She was a descendant of John
Adams. the second President Of the
United States. Mrs. Joseph Fl. Nor
gan of Atlanta also seems to have
somewhat Of a title to the honor. In
1896 she issued a call for a meeting,
at which arrangements were perfected
for memorial services for those who

terrible poverty there was no money
for flowers or carriages, but the WON
en- g 1hered wild flowers from the
woods and at the appointed time they
walked, bearing their wreaths in their
arms, two miles TO the cemetery. The
South was under martial law and
public speaking was prohibited, SO in
stead of orations and eulogles there
was q simple service of song and
PRAYER, in which many old slaves par
ticipated After that the flowers were
put uron the graves.
Little did the tender-hearted mothers
OF the South think of the mighty fruit
their action would bear when. in the
darkest days Of reconstruction, with
hearts bleeding over their own losses
and overlooking with compassion for
their bereft sisters Of the North, they
scattered their garlands alike over the
monnds Of the Blue and the Gray.
The beautiful sentiment expressed
by the burial Of an unknown Ameri-
can soldier, fetched in decorous pomp
from a battlefield in France appealed
to the hearts of all our citizens most
touchirgly.
