Memorial Day marks 100th year in Carbondale
Memorial Day in Carbondale marks its centennial with ties to a Civil War widow whose grief helped spark the holiday. Historians say three Civil War veterans in 1866 saw a widow and two children placing flowers at a Woodlawn Cemetery grave and organized a Decoration Day service led by Gen. John A. Logan, who later headed the Grand Army of the Republic and designated May 30 for decorating fallen soldiers nationwide. In San Francisco, most National Conference of Social Welfare panelists rejected violence as a path to social change, while noting some see violence as a crisis reality and the need for social workers to push for reforms to ease poverty.
