DECORATE GRAVES
OF CONFEDERATES
MEMORIAL DAY OBSERVED
BY LOCAL RESI-
DENTS

Graves Of the Confederate
dead in Key West are being beauti-
fully decorated with flowers today
by the Henry R. Mallory chapter
Daughters of the Confederacy, as
a continuation of the Memorial
day observance program started
yesterday afternoon with the
pretty exercises and address at
Bayyiew Park.
The postoffice is open for bust
ness as usual today, but the holi-
day IS being generally observed
by the banks over the state and
flags are flying from the business
houses and many homes in the
city.
Due to the fact that Key West
was occupied by Union army
forces all through the period of
the Civil War, there are not many
graves of Confederate veterans on
this island for the Daughters Of
the Confederacy to memorialize
with flowers.
