ROADS OF REMEMBRANCE 
n 7 
Mrs. Harding’s approval and support were expressed 
in a letter to the Women’s Club at York, Pa. Mrs. 
Harding wrote: 
“Please allow me to congratulate you on the wonderful work you 
have brought to conclusion in the dedication on Memorial Day of 
the road of remembrance along the Lincoln Highway. In the plant¬ 
ing of twenty-five miles of that famous highway, you have erected a 
memorial that the entire country can enjoy in the years to come. 
May long life attend the trees you have placed in the care of the 
Lincoln Highway Memorial and Tribute Tree Association.” 
The spirit which prompted these letters is the spirit 
which has resulted in roadside planting in all parts of the 
country. The planting takes many forms. In Bibb 
County, Georgia there is a Cross of Trees with Macon as 
the point of crossing. Along the Lincoln Highway there 
have been many plantings. At York, Pa., the Women’s 
Clubs have planted twenty-five miles along both sides of 
that highway. The dedication was made a wonderful 
event for Memorial Day. The trees have been turned 
over to the Lincoln Highway Memorial and Tribute 
Tree Association. At Canton, Ohio, where the same 
highway passes, the Lincoln Highway Memorial Associa¬ 
tion of Stark County is planting memorial trees. Along 
the road leading from the highway to the tomb of William 
McKinley there has been planted an Avenue of the 
Presidents to lead into the major road. The St. Joseph 
County Memorial Tree Forestry Association, at South 
Bend, Ind., has completed its share of the tree planting 
along the Lincoln Highway in that state. Under the 
direction of the Ottawa Permanent Memorial Association 
and Ottawa Tree Club, trees have been planted along the 
Lincoln Highway in Iowa. Out of Clinton has been made 
a “Memory Mile” and planted with trees by the Kiwanis 
Club. Thus the work goes on. At Seattle, the Garden 
Club has planted 1200 memorial trees and the work has 
been but started to the Pierce County line.
