DECORATION DAY TO BE OBSERVED
PATRIOTIC SOCIETIES AND CITIZENS WILL JOIN IN ANNUAL TRIBUTE
There will be the usual observance of Decoration Day in LeMars with
patriotic, civic and military organizations cooperating with citizens in
this annual tribute to our soldier dead. Charles Wernli will deliver the
address as the city cemetery this year.
There will be a change in the order of procedure, the column forming on
Central Avenue and proceeding first to the city cemetery where the usual
exercises will be held and thence to St. Joseph’s cemetery for decoration of
graves and a program by the children of St. Joseph’s school. Details of the
programs at the two cemeteries will be completed this week. A committee
representing the patriotic organizations of the city is in charge of
arrangements for the day.
