the Grand Army remind us that half a century has passed since the close of the Civil War; but on this Memorial Day years seem to have vanished, for the ranks are filled again with young men—men of the American Legion— who march proudly side by side with the veterans of ‘61 and ‘98. Our Medford Post, 66, has now fifty-two names on its roll; of these, thirty-two comrades took part in the exercises of the day. George L. Stokell, Commander. Albert W. Patch, Senior Vice-Commander.

ce was misplaced. Had occasion arisen, the Grand Army men would, to call, have answered Here! After reaching its high tide of membership, it was inevitable that its numbers must decrease. It has no recruiting office. During the past year , twelve—three in one recent week—have answered the last call, leaving but thirty-seven names on the roll. But one of these appears on the charter, by coincidence, the last. Twenty-four, an equivalent of its resident membership, as follows, Charles O. Burbank John L. Brockway James H. Burpee John E.

. Afterwards. Medford square was thronged with citizens and children for the observance of Patriot's Day. Just a few of the old veterans of ‘61 are left to us now, but they were loyally present, guests of our president in the old home of Capt. Isaac Hall. The usual features of the day were increasingly well observed and the modern rider sped on his way. Memorial Day came, the day of days for the comrades of the Grand Army. They number but eleven now. Eight of them, Commander George L. Stokell, Charles O. Burbank, Edgar Hall, Alvin Reed, Winslow Joyce, Thomas Kelley, G. H. LesDnier, followed the old flag to the silent city to mark their comrades' graves. A visiting comrade from Vermont, J. M. Safford, went with them. We grasped their hands and looked into their faces once more, remembering the long-ago time in which they lived, loyally dared and bravely fought. On Flag Day four of them participated in the public exercises. The Old Guard dies, but it never surrenders.
