Evening Republican, Volume 21, Number 118, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 27 May 1918 — DECORATION DAY. [ARTICLE]

DECORATION DAY.

Next Thursday is Decoration Day. The address is to be made by HonE. P. Honan at Weston cemetery at 2:00 p. m. It is expected that this shall be a impressive occasion as by the side of these comrades before another year may be placed the bodies of those who have given their lives in the great struggle in which we are now engaged. The city will take a holiday in honor of the service rendered by the veterans of 1861 to 1865 and all business will be suspended and the merchants will close their stores. All fraternal orders and association, several Sunday schools, the Liberty Guards and Boy Scouts are invited to attend in a body and to report to the officer of the day at the court house at 1:30 p. m. All old soldiers and wives not able to march will be taken to the cemetery in automobiles. The general public are invited. D. H. YEOMAN, Commander. W. H. Wood, Adj.
