Mass concelebrated by Bishop Jeffrey R. Haines. Keynote speaker Michael B. Koszuta, retired Army command sergeant major. Speech by Abraham Lincoln (Nic Bur). Cannon firing by Cushing's Battery. Musket salute by Iron Brigade. Decoration of soldiers' graves. Sponsored by C.K. Pier Badger Camp # 1 and Auxiliary 4. We have held Memorial Day observances since at least 1927 and likely earlier. The Camp was founded in 1901 and Auxiliary a few years later.
