Markers at Soldiers’ Graves Will Be Placed Saturday, May 27.

The local Grand Army Post has procured 100 markers for soldiers’ graves and it is planned to place them on all graves in Weston cemetery in which veterans of the civil war are buried. The day selected for this is Saturday, May 27th, and it is hoped that relatives of soldiers will be at the cemetery that day to make certain that no graves are missed. The markers will be a permanent guide for the future in decorating of graves. Since some soldiers are buried there whose families have either moved away or died, the matter is now partially one of memory and the soldiers have determined on the marker plan so that the work they do can be kept up after they are unable to longer care for it.
