At first the day was observed by
the old veterans only. Each G. A.

The citizens, at first,
paid but little attention to the day
nor the services. The war had then
lieen dosed but two years and while
the people respecte«l the soldier for
what he had occomplished. they
were too deeply engr<M»ed in the
living and affairs of the day to think
of the dead.
But as time advanced, the day
grew in importance. State after
state made it a l«-gal holiday. The
citizens as well as the old veterans
gladly gave the day to the memory
of the dead and began decorating
the graves of the love«! ones who
had pasaie<l on, with flowers. Every
year added graves of old veterans,
