What a rush of memories Memorial
day brings to those who have fought
and to those who have honored those
who fought and bled and died
What hopes for the future 1t brings
around each year-prayers that the
fearful Mars is dead at last, that an
end has been put to war;
Already, 1t seems, the public has for.
gotten the horror of the last war
the war which was fought to 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 culled her flowers for
the summer waiting long,
And the breath of early roses woos the
hedges into song,
Comes the throb Of martial music and the
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 fal.
len In battle.
The Roman ceremony over the
graves of the departed was called
"Parentalia," or the day of the fathers.
During the period of "Parentalia" the
temples were closed; the tombs were
profusely decorated Memorial arches
We're built and covered with flowers to
honor the heroic dead.
Adapting an earlier heather custom,
Christians later set aside "All Souls
Day" as 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 H. Herrick says in his
book on "Outstanding Days" has wit
messed a joint reunion of Confederate
Veterans and the Grand Army of the
Republic fraternizing as brothers.
Acting on a suggestion that instead
% In ~ OrO ~
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 80 "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 1918 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!

Origin Of
x
Memorial
A,Day@
2GM@

In Memorial day address delivered
in 1879, Chauncey NJ. Depew told of the
origin Of the custom among the women
of the South. A part of the address
follows:g
when the war was over, in the
South, where, under warmer skies and
with more poetic temperament, sym
bols and emblems 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.
Jas the news of this touching trib-
ute flashed over the North 1t reused,
as nothing else could have done, ma
tional amity and love and allayed sec
tional animosity and passion. 1t
thrilled every household where there
was vacant chair by the Preside 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 1t was our darling
THUS, out of sorrows common alike
to North and South came this beauti-
full custom. But Memorial day no
longer belongs to those who mourn.
1t 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 memorial day. At least a doz-
en- different women of the South have
claimed 1t. Mrs. Sue Landon Vaughn
is often credited with having first ex-
mortal day. April 20, 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 II. Nor
gan of Atlanta also seems to have
somewhat of a title to the honor. In
1866 she issued a call for a meeting,
at which arrangements were perfected
for memorial services for those who
had fallen in battle. In those days of
| terrible poverty there was no money
for flowers or carriages, but the wom-
en- gathered 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 eulogies there
was a simple service of song and
prayer, In which many old slaves par
| ticipated. After that the flowers were
, put upon 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
mounds Of the Blue and the Gray.
The beautiful sentiment expressed
by the burial of an unknown Ameri-
can soldier, fetched in decorous pomp
from battlefield in France appealed
to the hearts Of all our citizens most
touchingly.

Silence then reigned among the hero dead.
None came to chronicle newer war.

more"
