Grafton Memorial Day Spotlight Marks 83rd observance
Grafton hosts its 83rd Memorial Day observance tomorrow highlighting the first such observance north of the Potomac. The event recalls Captain Jacob B. Bristol of Grafton as the first Memorial Day speaker in the United States and notes Captain Daniel Wilson’s Civil War ties and role in the 1861 incident at Fetterman. The new National Cemetery visit is noted as impractical for services there at that time. The report also includes a Parkersburg police note about an unidentified man found dead after a leap from the Parkersburg Belpre bridge, with a car’s ownership tied to a Parkersburg man reported ill.
