R., a score of Frenc] and townspeople making 75 all, ‘met about 4 o'clock Tuesday ternoon near the Old Cemetery en- nce on the Gresn, where sixteen years ago the boulder to the memory of Tranch soldiers was placed. En- sraved on the boulder are _these ‘words: In memory of twenty ¥rench soldiers who, serving under Lafayette, died in camp at Norwich Town,:1775. Placed by TFaith Trumbull Chapter, D. A.

Platt, it was deemed ftting that she be in charge of the exercises, We have piaced the tri-color with the '| Stars ana Stripes at the suggestion of one of our number, Mrs. Huntington id. As Dr. Howe offered prayer at the unveiling of the boulder it is fit- ting that we should today be led in prayer by him after the singing of the Marseillaise. Omer Tellier led in the singing which was in French and seomed a most appropriate beginning of the event to be noted. After pray- er by Dr. Howe The Star Spangled Banner was suns. Mayor Aliyn L. Brown was greeted with applause as he stood near the boulder to say a few words. It seems to me that in this time of conflict that these exercises simple as they are, are in tune with events now transpiring. This ground has seen deeds of valor and we as neighbors for 130 vears are glad to bring greet- ing. While French soldiers were en- camped on the Green the sick were cared for in the courthouse. and when twenty of their number di=d they were buried here. This is_conerete evi- denc of our debt to France and the time long waited for is here. the debt long-owed will be paid. Who can tell who of us standing here may make that same sacrifice? May there not be in years to come on French soll some such scene as this when people may gather ahout the place where our boys are lying to do them honor and reverence? This should be an inspiration for the futnre when we may be tried as never before in our lives. May the lives of these French spldiers inspire us to meet our future with faith and courage. The singing of America_closed an occasion of great meaninz historically calling to mind like events In the vanished life of the town. CHARLES F. ATKINSO? !
