Mayor Adolph andre then intro
duced Rev. J. e. Kundert, the ora
tor OF the day, who explained how
Memorial Day had become a part
of our national life. Since the first
exercises were held about seventy
five years ago, other organizations
have joined so that the day has
come to mean much more than in
the past.
Since the days of the Revolution,
the War of 1912, and the Civil
War, this nation has developed
until it has become one OF the fore
most nations of the world. In the
past foreign nations have sneered
at this republic, they once called
this land the chaser after the al
nightly dollar; but the time came
when this country was called upon
to pour out life and wealth which
made a new phase of the situation.
He spoke of the lack of crystal
cation of unity in the public mind
prior to the Civil war and how Lin
coin said that nation divided can
not long endure--pne- half could
not be slave while the other half
was free.
The speaker showed how the
Civil war doomed great to the mem
bers Of the G. A. r., for they had
endured the hardships of that great
struggle.
He also paid tribute to those
who fought in the war with Spain
and in the World war
L. A. Brown then read the names
of the departed United Spanish War
veterans and Attorney Ralf T.
Runge of those who died in the
World war. tsHyl
The guard of honor then fired
over the graves the salute for the
dead after which reyeille sounded
in the distance. 5.
