By Jessie Font Evons

This country's observance of Dec
grafton Day or Memorial Day, as
a special time of commemoration
for its warrior dead, is an inspiring
example of growth of a movement
which started locally in widely scat
tered areas.
The dedication of special day
did not come into general vogue
until after the Civil War. The
idea owes its inception to the women
of our Nation and its public sup
port to the press.
Southern women, through the
nuclei of their Soldiers Aid Society," u
were the first to motivate it with
their decoration of graves Of Con-
federate veterans-and in many in
stances the grave of their Northern
foes buried beside them.
Inspired BLUE and Gray"
One of the earliest publicized &C
counts of this compassionate con-
sideration is the New York Herald's
reference to such an action on the
part OF the women OF Columbus
Miss, in 1867. 1t inspired Francis
Miles Finch's famous poem, "The
Blue and the Gray" and Chauncey
M. Depew's equally noted oratory on
the subject.
A Northern woman, Mrs. John A.
Logan, after her return TO Wash
ington from a visit to a church
yard cemetery in Petersburg, Va,
following a Decoration Day, prob
ably on April 26, 1868, inspired Eer
husband, Gen. John A. Logan, COM
mander in chief of the Grand Army
of the Republic, to issue his history
making Order Number Eleven.
This order dictated to Gen. N. P.
Chapman, his adjutant general, in
stituted May 80, 1868 as the first
official observance of a day to dec
crate the graves of Union soldiers
and memorialize their services. 1t
was the forerunner of our present
Decoration Day or Memorial Day
exercises led by the President OF
the United States which honor the
memory of all of our soldier dead
Wherever they may have offered up
their last full measure of sacrifice.
Garfield Made Address.
The first national exercises were
held i'll the National Cemetery at
Arlington, Va, with Gen. James A.
Garfield, member of the House of
Representatives and later President
of the United States, as the orator
of the occasion.
In her "reminiscences OF Sol
dier's Wife, Mrs. Logan tells of her
Petersburg visit in company with
her daughter Dallie, her son John
jr.. Col. Charles Wilson, editor of
the Chicago Journal. and his niece,
and his flancee. Miss Farrar of Bos-
ton. She also tells of Col. Wilson's S
subsequent publicizing of her hus-
bands now famous Order Number
Eleven.
First State to observe May 80 as a
legal holiday was New York in 1873.
following legislation fostered by

ton when sorrowing women like
Pilgrims might bring floral offerings
to honor their sacred dead"
They arranged for the first Dec
Ioration Day memorial address in
connection with the movement to
be delivered on April 26, 1866, in
Columbus, Ga, at St. Luke's Meth
odist Church by the Hon. J. M.
Ramsey, according to the records
of this group.
The present members of the
Columbus Ladies Memorial Associa-
ton cite substantiation of this claim
by a United States Government
marker, which Georgia's Division
of State Parks, Historic Sites and
Monuments of the Department of
Natural Resources dedicated upon
the grounds Of old st. Luke's Church

Memorial Day Is Outgrowth
OF Early Local. Observonces

Civil War veterans. Rhode Island
followed suit in 1874. BY the time
of President Theodore Roosevelt.
following the Spanish American
War, the observance of Memorial
Gay or Decoration Day in the spring
Of the year was legal holiday in
nearly all the States. 1t became a
symbol of national unity, with Sec
tional bias on the wane.
Properly, though, the inception
of Memorial Day or Decoration Day
is cherished feature of the history
of the South.
Georgia Society's Prior Claim.
Receiving more and more general
recognition is the claim of the
women of Columbus, Ga, that theirs
was the first organized effort to,
unite the women of the South in a
general observance upon a specific
day, April 26. Active in familiariz-
ing the public with this claim is
Mrs. Lucille Cary Lowry, formerly
of Chevy Chase, Md, now living at
1903 McKell street, Dallas, Tex. Mrs.
Lowry submits documentary evi-
dence to substantiate her point.
According to Mrs. Lowry's ac-
count, the ladies of the Soldiers Aid
Society of Columbus, Ga, organized
early in 1861, met in January, 1866,
at the home of Mrs. John Tyler
upon the suggestion of Miss Eliza
beth Rutherford, secretary of the
group, and reorganized themselves
into the Ladies Memorial Associa-
ton. Their purpose was to unite
similar groups in the South in set
ting apart a special day for the
graves of Confederate soldiers.
At a subsequent meeting, April 26,
the day of Johnston's surrender was
agreed upon as an appropriate day;
and Mrs. Charles j. Williams, acting
as secretary, was instructed to write
"a letter to the press and to the
women Of the South requesting their
|co-operation with the project.
Eloquent Appeal Printed.
On March IL, 1866, the Georgia
Times printed Mrs. Williams eloquent
letter in its entirety with its fervent
appeal to press and public alike to
help set apart April rs of each year
from the Potomac to the Rio
Grande" as "a time of commemora-
