DRAFT SIGHED i Bride Wiohes People of Marblehead Remember Sailors in Their Annual Memorial Services. THE celebration of Memorial the town of Marblehead, IN atthere Is a feature unfamiliar to most communities. So many heroes of the various wars were lost at sea, that the waves as well as the graves receive decorations. Down Front street towards the harbor marches the procession. First .comes the band, followed by the Grand Army of the Republic, only 80 marching. Hundreds have crossed the bar. There is a larger showing of the Spanish War Veterans, for of course Marblehead was well represented in that war, too. Marbleheaders are always ready to respond with lavish patriot-sito their country's call. American history in every epoch corroborates that statement. The ministers and priests- oi the various churches come next, then the firemen and policemen in their best The Womans Relief corps mothers the school children that come carrying flags and wreaths, while they sing patriotic hymns. The procession has visited the old Burying Hill on the rocky heights overlooking Little Harbor, where the earliest settlers built their first church, about .1630. A flag and wreaths they have placed on the tomb of General , m - - Glover, whose regiment of Marblehead fishermen covered the retreat of the American army from Long island in August, 1775, and rowed Washington and his army across the Delaware river to Trenton on December 25 of the same year. The grave of James Hammond, wounded in the Constitutions capture of thejJava, and those of many other army and navy heroes are honored., Each cemetery, old and new, Is visited, and each looks like .a great flower garden, for the old cemeteries are full of heroes of the early wars, and the new Waterside cemetery, on Salem harbor, Is thickly sprinkled with participants In the Civil war. But many who sailed away to meet the-f-oe on the sea never returned; were not even brought back that loving friends migh.t perform the last sad rites. These are never forgotten on May 80 in Marblehead. So, to the strains of Columbia, Gem of the Ocean, all march toward the harbor. They pass the old Town house, built in 1727, where Glover recruited his regiment In 1775, and where the Marblehead Light Infantry assembled on the morning of April 10. 1801, in response to President Lincolns calL . . . .
