MEMORIAL DAY 
At Beverly Farms Observed with Impressive 
Exercises. 
Exercises in commemoration of 
Decoration Day were held at Beverly 
Farms in a manner befitting the day, 
the members of Preston Post 88, the 
W.R.C., the Fire Department and the 
school children uniting in making the 
day a success. = 
The parade started at 2 0’clock, with 
Joshua Younger, marshal. A platoon 
of police headed the line, and the band 
followed, with the Fire Department 
following as escort to Post 88, C. H. 
Day in command. The veterans of 
the Spanish war were at the end of 
the line. 
After the ceremony of decorating 
the graves had been carried out and 
the pretty and impressive ceremony 
_of strewing flowers on the water, the 
line proceeded to G.A.R. hall, where 
the parade was disbanded. The band 
gave a concert in the square. 
In the evening exercises were held 
at the Baptist church, the oration 
being given on that occasion by Rev. 
Clarence Strong Pond, the pastor. 
His subject was: ‘‘ The Heroes of ’61 
Worthy Sons of the Heroes of ’76.” 
He said in part : 
‘‘We have come here today to pay 
living tribute to the memory of our 
hero citizens who laid down their lives 
in the war of the rebellion for the pre- 
servation of the Union, to cherish the 
memory of our patriot dead who have 
died since that conflict, and to lay a 
wreath of laureland myrtle on the 
brow of each surviving member of the 
Grand Army. Long may they live to 
enjoy the peace, happiness and proser- 
ity which their labors have assured to 
themselves and their posterity. We 
are to review the events of that trying 
period that the children of our homes 
may be taught the lessons of patriot- 
ism, so that when the great moving 
tide of time shall bear the last hero 
across the great gulf a united nation 
shall gather annually to thank the 
God ot Nations for our National deliv- 
erance and to honor the brave soldiers 
who fought the good fight for freedom. 
“It is for us to enfold the examples 
of freedom and bravery and heroism 
to the aliens in our midst who have 
come from other lands of oppression 
and political darkness to this land of 
liberty and political light, that they 
may know at what cost our national 
liberty has been attained, and that 
they may be inspired to American 
loyalty. 
‘‘Our nation was conceived in Lib- 
erty. The Pilgrims and the Puritans 
established themselves in the New 
England for freedom of worship in the 
old Bay state. From an acorn so 
small in 1776 there had grown a 
mighty oak amid the first of nations. 
‘‘And there were heroes in those 
days. Methinks Isee them now— 
the heroes of a heaven born conflict 
laboring against the masterly arms of 
England before whom the nations of 
Europe stood in awe.” 
The speaker then passed on bya 
rapid transition from the hero spirit 
of the conflict of 1776 to the heroes of 
1861-65 and closed by invoking God’s 
blessing upon the people, the state 
and the nation. 
Captain Slocum gave an interesting 
talk, accompanied by the stereopticon, 
in Marshall hall, Monday evening.
