APPOINT COMMITTEE TO MARK "VETS" GRAVES

February 21, 1935

Clarence B. Day of Glenwood met in Malvern, Tuesday night, with the Graves Registration committee from Mills County, who are making a survey of all the cemeteries in the county with the hope of locating the resting place of every soldier buried within its borders.

W.F. Hathaway from the attorney-general's office in Des Moines, who is directing this campaign, was present and outlined the course of action the state is taking in this work.

The men are enjoying splendid cooperation from various patriotic organizations and individuals who have a particular interest in our heroic dead.

Any citizen who was personally acquainted with any man who served his country in time of war; the War of 1812, Black Hawk, Mexican, Civil, Spanish-American, World War or who may have served under the federal government at any time is urged to communicate with these men at once in order to establish a permanent record.

This history will be published at a later date and those from the attorney-generals office and the local men are desirous that this record be as complete as possible.

This committee is composed of the following men:  Clarence Day from Glenwood, Harold Slater of Malvern, Ted Birdsall of Emerson, and Roy Flanagan of Silver City.
