Show At the City Cemetery At the time Memorial day was first inaugurated in-augurated the decoration of graves was confined almost exclusively to those in the military cemetery As the years have passed however the custom cus-tom beautiful as it is of strewing the graves of the loved ones with flowers has grown until now it has become almost universal Although several extra cars were placed on the line leading to the city cemetery yet these proved inadequate t accommodate the hundreds who went there and the result was that many were forced to wale It would be idle of course to estimate the number visiting the cemetery ceme-tery during the day but it is safe to say that at least one thousand people made their annual pilgrimage to the city of the dead and left floral offerings on the graves of their loved ones |
