Our Heroic Dead

We have received from Dr. H.H. Beecher the following list of soldiers whose graves are to be decorated on Memorial Day which we gladly publish.

The Doctor requests that if any names have been omitted from the list, or if other soldiers have been buried in any of the Cemeteries during the past year, he or the Committee be appraised of the fact at once, that each and all may have a place in the deep gratitude of our hearts and be remembered in the floral offerings of Decoration Day.
