AMERICAN FORESTRY 



Gun Battalion, Third Division. At this tree Mrs. W. E. 

 Gymer also participated in the ceremony in memory of 

 her son, Lieutenant Alfred K. Gymer, Three Hundred 

 and Fifteenth Infantry, Eighty-Fourth Division. 



At the Pennsylvania tree there were eight Gold Star 

 mothers who threw earth upon the tree planted for 

 Pennsylvania heroes who included their own sons 

 Charles P. Holoran, James Austen, Wm. John Miller 

 and Robert A. Miller, Alfred Peter Stumpf, Edward 

 McL. Wise and Raymond Home. 



At the Maryland tree, surrounded by flowers brought 

 from the Green Spring Valley in memory of the boys of 

 the Valley, stood Governor Harrington, who threw on 

 the spade full of earth in memory of Maryland's brave 

 sons. With him was Mrs. A. F. Fraley whose son, 

 Lieutenant Earl Fraley, of the Three Hundred and Thir- 

 teenth Infantry, had made the great sacrifice. 



At the tree planted in honor of Baltimore's own were 

 Mayor William F. Broening, Mr. and Mrs. J. Barry 

 Mahool, the latter wearing a Gold Star for their son, 

 Captain George Frame Mahool, of the Forty-Fifth Artil- 

 lery ; Mr. and Mrs. August Ritter, whose son, Christian 

 Ritter, Jr., of the One Hundred and Fourth Ammuni- 

 tion Supply Train, Twenty-Ninth Division, was one of 

 those who did not come back; Mrs. Anna Barrett, mother 

 of Joseph Barrett, killed in the Navy Yard, Philadelphia ; 

 Mrs. E. J. Croker whose son was lost at sea; Mrs. P. J. 

 McLernon, mother of John McLernon ; Mrs. K. Golden 

 Kennelly, mother of John Golden Kennelly, killed in 

 France the day the armistice was signed ; Mrs. George 

 W. Thompson, mother of George Potter Thompson, 

 Company C, One Hundred and Fifteenth Infantry, killed 

 in the Argonne ; Mrs. Ella Hart, mother of Edwin Som- 

 merfield Hart, also of the One Hundred and Fifteenth; 

 Mrs. Elizabeth S. Tillman, mother of Frank R. Tillman, 



Thirty-Third Artillery; Mrs. John H. Butler, mother of 

 Lieutenant Edward E. Butler, of the U. S. Air Service, 

 killed at Issoudun, France ; Mrs. Richard Lynch, mother 

 of Vernon Lynch, killed at Government Experiment 

 Station in Washington. 



The musical program was under the direction of 

 Mr. Frederick R. Huber, director of the Baltimore Sym- 

 phony. The service was concluded by the rendition 

 "A Golden Star," by Sousa, in memory of Quentin 

 Roosevelt, and dedicated to Mrs. Roosevelt. Mrs. Robert 

 Carlton Morris made the dedicatory address. 



A grove of trees similar to this, but much smaller, 

 was planted in Patterson Park, Baltimore, Md., as a 

 memorial to the Baltimore boys from East Baltimore, 

 who lost their lives in the war. This was under the 

 auspices of Mrs. George W. Hughes, 253 Ellwood Ave- 

 nue. On November 16 a tree was planted by the con- 

 gregation of Baldwin Memorial Methodist Episcopal 

 Church, Severn Cross Roads, Anne Arundel County, in 

 honor of eight members of the church who participated 

 in the war. The tree was presented by Mrs. Robert 

 A. Welsh, president of the Anne Arundel Chapter of 

 the D. A. R. 



There is inspiration in every line of this account of 

 memorial tree planting. The Service Star Legion plans 

 even more extensive planting the coming spring. At 

 York, Pennsylvania, the Women's Club in conjunction 

 with the Chamber of Commerce has taken over a big 

 program for planting the Lincoln Highway. A wonder- 

 ful legacy is to be left to the coming generation. Will 

 you have a part in this legacy by taking the lead in your 

 community? All this work needs is leaders in each 

 town. What finer memorial than to have it said, "He 

 planted trees." 



NATIONAL HONOR ROLL, MEMORIAL TREES 



Trees have been planted for the following and registered with the American Forestry Association, which 

 desires to register each Memorial Tree planted in the United States. A certificate of registration will be sent to 

 each person, corporation, club or community reporting the planting of a Memorial Tree to the Association.
