O, L. Griswold Inspires Large Gathering— Coroner Records Miss Crosby's Death at 101—Operatives Annoyed by I W. W. Activity. A dreary, drizsly day had the ef- fect Thursday of reducing the num- ber that came out in Danelson to wit- ness the memorial exercises under the auspices of the G. A. R, W. R. C. and S. of V. but the arrangements were carried out as planned. Many who had been to Bast Kiilingly, where im- pressive exercises had been held ‘n the morning, returned to Danielson for the afternoon exercises, which were held in the town hall, following the forming of the procession of the day at @, A. R. hall in the Keystone pulld- ing,. from where the marchers pro- ceeded at 115 to the town building. The Memorial day address was ¢ livered by Rev. Orion L. Griswold, pa tor of the Methodist church, who said | in substance: “The civil war was a war of self- | preservation—to preserve the union of the states. The principle in which the north believed was that great truth which was enunciated by our fore fathers when they declared that ‘All are born free and equal and endowed with _certain inalienable rights, among which are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness’ The conflict was the result of two different interpretations of that declaration. There was a se- ries of struggles between the intellec- tual giants of the north and of the | south, which led the hostile states to | tho point of huriing defiant treason | upon the patient north in the form of | a cannonball; a cannonball behind | which was powder fired by the hand Blessing of A C. Tyler | | | | of hate. It struck old Sumter full in | the front. It moved not a stone, it | drew not a drop of blood; but it | transformed a _peaceable people into [ an aggressive, fearless and unconquer- able army, resulting in the bloodiest war known to mankind. “Liberty is not a mere child of for- tune; no merely tender, fair and deli- cate form of beauty; no selfish crea- ture claiming for self unmeasured li- cenge. It is an offspring of the living God and the choicest of divine gifts. The emblem of our lberty has its | story and tells it well. Our veterans love the dear old flag. They love it for what it is; for what it represents and for the personal ties that bind it | to their hearts. This generation should | cc-operate with them in preserving unsuilied this, the banner of the great- est_nation in the world. “The women did not sit idly by.| They cheered the soldier boys on the earned money to help support the Some even bore arms in the Invaluable was the work don war. by the woman's sanitary commission. But none among the living and none among the dead regret the sacrifices made. Such is the American citizen; such s the American patriot, glorious, | brave, unselfish i “We do well to honor the remnant | |of the army living, and also to cherish |the memory of the great army of |dead. There shouldbe a benevoles disposition shown towards these v [am. heroic men of the civil war.” Following the exercises in the hall | there was the usual cersmonies at the Soldiers’ monument at Davis park and later a strewing of flowers and the paying of tributes at the graves of tho honored dead In Westfleld and St James' cemeterles. The processional part the day's | exercises was watched by a large num- ber of townspeople. Members of Col.

A Dbeautiful memorial, a tribute to the pariotism, loyalty and self-sac- rifice of the soidiers and sailors in the civil war who served from Putnam and vicinity, was unveiled and dedicated with impressive exercises at the june- tion of Grove and Ring streets Thurs- day afternoon. Only a venerable and grizzled remnant of the sturdy men in whose honor the monument has been reared stood with bared heads under the gray skies and heavy mist that were attendant upon the ceremonies, but all that they and their departed comrades in arms had done for the preservation of the Union was symbol- ized and lauded in a manner so inspir- in to impress in no uncertain way t he assurance that their heroism will ever be forgotten by a grateful and united nation. More propitious weather might have been desired for Such a dedicatory event, but this handicap seemed to have little effect in lessening the num- ber that came out for the exercises, The vicinity of the monument was jammed with spectators and vehicles, so much so that the electric car se vice was delayed thereby. There was little delay, however, in carrying out the remarks of the the women of A vartous speakers, G. Warner corps, W R. C. were in charge of the dedica- tion ceremonies, Mrs. Lillie E.

C. gaid [n introducing Xr: is wholly and completel: fitting exercises should be exclusively in their charge.” Mr, Mc- Kachnie traced the history of building the fund from a smail beginning and toid how the nobie women of the corps had worked in season and out of sea- son to achieve the triumph now theirs. And,” conciuded the speaker in in-| troducing Mrs. Leach, “a large share of the honor and credit is due to Mrs. Leach, president of the W. R. C.”” Address by Mrs. Leach.

The words of a beautiful invocation ere spoken by Rev. F. D Sargent, pastor of the Congregational church. The address of presentation by which the handsome monument was given to the city of Putnam was by Mrs. Leach, who said that it was to be forever and forever a memorlal to the soldiers and sailors of Putnam and vicinity who fought in the Civil war, and a reminder that this great nation is not forgetful of the deeds they per- formed. “We have assurance” sald Mrs, Leach, “that the city will likely arrange for its perpetual care The Monument Unveiled, At this point oeeurred the unvelling of the memork the enclosing draper- ies falling gracefully from about the attractive plle of granite surmeunted by a bronze figure of a Clvil war sol- dier, standing at parade rest, On the fuce of the monument I8 the i P tion y af the Beldiers and Ballors of Putnam and Vieinity Whe Feught for the Preservation of ihe Menm “Te the Union. 1861 —1865.

You well know that talk- ing is not in my line, but I am proud" to stand before you on this occasion and perform this duty. The completion of this monument is the resuit of long and hard work, principally done by the ladies, and in its completion due largely to the ef- forts of one lady whom you all know. I am sure that it will be a source of perpetual pride to the citizens of this community. It will stimulate patriotism, and while giving to the soldiers of that great war for the preservation of the unfon their just tribute, will serve to deepen the patriotism of the prescnt and future generations, so that should the occasion again arise the same iuy- aity and devotion to the cause will again be manifested. Soldlers, may you keep ever before you the great principles for which you and your comrades fought; citizens, let us, with profound gratitude, ever remember the valor by which, through hardship and suffering, this heritage was preserved.
