MEMORIAL DAY IN BEECHWOODS Simple and Impressive Exercises Mark the Annual Observance at the Famous Old Cemetery. If one would witness .Memorial day observed In the sitnplu anil reverent manner in which was Intended, be should visit the Beechwoods cemetery on the occasion of the annual gathering under the auspices of the Washington Township Memorial Association. There is mnu of the revelry and sport so com mon In the towns. Instead the spirit of loyalty and patriotism reigns supreme and any attempt to turn the occasion into ftnanciul profit, meets with sharp rebuff) Naturo a..d chance have made the spot almost Ideal for such a gathering. From the four points of the compass well-beaten roads converge in the heart of the richest farming cnmmunlly In the county. On two of the corners at the junction of the roads, well cultivated fields extend back over the rolling hills. On the other two corners stands a natural grove. Half-hidden in the shadow of the over-arching trees nestles little white school house. Opposite, a short distance from the road, Is a paVtlion, on this occasion hung from roof to ground with the national flag, the brilliant red, white and blue made still more beautiful by the setting of rich green foliage around and above. Beneath the trees, on a gentle slope in front of the pavilion, long circular rows of seats are arranged. On a hill to the north, unfortunately not visible from the grove, lies the famous old Beech woods cemetery, opened over eighty years ago. In it sleep scores of the pioneers who found Beechwoods a wil derness and made it the garden-spot It is to-day. Decoration day In 1907 was equal in every respect to the events of the years past. The morning dawned cloudless and fair and the blue sky and warm sunshine prevailed throughout the day. By ten o'clock over a thousand persons were on the ground and continued to arrive until noon. Besides the resi dents of Biech woods, many were present from Falls Creek, Reynolds ville and Brookville. Carriages of ev ery description, from the single seat to the fnur-soated hack and tally-bo brought the crowds. The morning ex ercise commenced wltb a march to the cemetery, In which the Fall 8 Creek silver cornet band took the lead. In the processlou were veterans of the Civil and Spanish wars, followed by pupils of the Washington township schools, laden with garlands of flowers, and lastly citizens of the community. The scene at the cemetery is a revela tion to tbe visitor. In Its extent and beauty, it surpasses many city burial places, and one might get a very favor able estimate of tbe character of tbe people of tbe Beechwoods from the care tbey take of, and the honor they pay to, tbe memory of tbelr dead Wandering through it a person might spend hours noting the varied monu-1 oienta, for almost every grave Is marked, and a number, of tbe monu ments are largo and costly as well. And if one cares to take tbe Mine he may learn much of tbe early history and settlers of Beechwoods by the' names, dates and Inscriptions chiseled on tbe marble. On this day tbe beauty of tbe spot was heightened by'lhe pro fusion of flowers which decorated the gravfs of veterans and civilians buried there. At noon the people .returned to the grove. Seated on ! grass Id the shade of the trve. lunches ware par taken of. A refreshment stand along side tbe school house, eonduoted by the association, waa opened and served coffee, lemonade and qutok lunches at a nominal price. In tbe afternoon at tbe grove it ia moving picture of rural beauty and life. Along tbe meeting roads for several rods, beneath tbe trees and in tbe fields around stand scores of horses, picketed, or unhitched and resting on tbe grass. Here and there are groups of farmers and ' tbelr wives talking or shaking bands wltb friends. Young people crowd around tbe refreshment stand or promenade in tbe shade. A few with kodaka attempt to catch the fleeting scene. At a farm bouse west of tbe grove is a spring of cold water olear a crystal. . Dozens walk up tbe path over tbe intervening field to get a drink. At the spring there ia fun, for boys and girls must have their joke and there's little barm done if someone Is drenohed. But these are simply stray Incidents one may note as be walks around Strains of musio from the grove an nounced that tbe program of the day was being carried nut. There are most of tbe older people, men and women, seated around the speakers' pavilion. Judge Harry Alvin Hall, of Elk county, announced as principal speaker, was conspicuously absent. But bis place was ably filled by others. There was muHic by the choir and recitations by Beechwoods girls. John A. Plyler, once a Itiivnoldavllle boy, was on for an oration. Dr. Paul J. Slonuker, of tbe Broekwa.vvlllu Presbyterian church, and Uev. S. D. Waldrop, of the Falls Creek Presbyterian church, delivered stirring speeches. Said Dr. Slonaker: "A native of tbe Emerald Isle was asked, 'If uu couldn't be an Irishman, what would you be?' Said the Irish man, I'd be ashamed of myself.' And on a day such as this the American present here vho is not thrilled with patriotism should be ashamed also." Perhaps thebmt feature of the program was tbe address of the Uev. Mr. Wal drop. It U somewhat unusual for a Texan, the son of a captain In 'lie Con federate Brmy, seeing things from the Southern point of view, to address a Northern audience on a day dedicated to tbe memory of Civil war heroes. The speaker was perfectly frank and candid and without detracting one whit from tbe honor due tbe soldiers In blue, showed that loyalty also inspired the men Id gray. Shortly after three o'clock th pro gram was finished and Immediately '.be roads were filled with the home going carriages. Tbe band n-roalned a little longer, but ' when the evening twilight fell all bad gone. Tbe Magic No. 3 Number three is a wonderful mascot tor Gen. H. Parrls, of Ceder Grove.
