1865
Boalsburg's claim of being. the
birthplace, appears to be well
founded. Beath's History of the
Gnrnd Army states that soldiers'
graves were decorated. at Water
loo, New York, May 27, 1866, and
at Cincinnati in 1867 which is
after the date set for the inaug
ural of the custom at Boalsburg.
Keller Speaks
The residents of Boalsburg
honor their war dead annually in
the same manner. The ceremonies
have grown more elaborate with
the years, but a wreath of laurel
remains as the symbol of trib
ute, just as it did on that 4th of
July in 1865.
Tonight at the BoalSburg Cem
etery, John 0. Keller, grand
nephew of Sophie Keller, will
give the Memorial Day address.
Keller is Asiistant to the PreSi
dent, in charge of Extension, at
