Memorial Day, Honored Dead of Norwich, Chenango County, NY, 1877

 Our Honored Dead

Chenango Semi-Weekly Telegraph, Norwich, NY, May 30, 1877

The following is the list of the graves of our honored dead to be decorated today.  We reproduce them from our files, with the addition of those who have died during the past year, kindly furnished us by Dr. Beecher. We omit the list of the 'unreturned" and "missing" which we have usually published, for want of space.  Their memory will, however, be borne upon grateful hearts today.
