Flowers Decked the Graves in Butte Memorial Day Observance
Rainy damp dawns and half mast flags did not dampen the community’s Memorial Day observance in Butte. Veterans groups, relief corps, and Spanish-American War veterans gathered at Mount Moriah and Catholic cemeteries to lay flowers, conduct prayers, and read the dead’s names, followed by a program at the Auditorium featuring Ella Knowles-Haskell and musical numbers.
