Here the most impressive services of the day were held. The services opened with a selec tion by the Steelton Band and a prayer by the Rev. C. B. Segelkin, pastor of Centenary United Brethren Church. Another selection by the band and the "General Orders" and Lincoln's "Gettysburg Address" were read by the Post adjutant. Frank B. Wickersham, assistant dis trict attorney of Dauphin county, then delivered the oration of the day. He paid a glowing tribute to the few re maining bent and gray veterans, who answered their country's call during the stirring days from '6l to '65, and eulogized the men over whose graves flowers were about to be strewn. At the conclusion of his speech a num ber of little girls clad in white scat tered flowers over the graves The band played "The Star Spangled Ban ner." There was a short pause and the benediction was pronounced by the Rev. J. M. Waggoner, of the Main Street Church of God. The Spanish War Veterans then filed away from the crowd and facing the west fired a salute to the Dead. There was a short pause until the echoes of the firing died away. A moment later Bugler William Lewis stepped out in front of the ranks. As he raised his bugle to his lips there was a move ment and heads were uncovered. Then the sweet, stirring strains of Taps rang out—and another Memo rial day was done.
