Nation Celebrates Independence Day in Twin Cities Parade
Large crowds in Wayne Scott and Stoddard counties gathered at Conrad's Park to mark America's Independence Day. About 7,500 people attended by noon with trains bringing in visitors. A grand parade led by Grand Marshal Wells and aides moved through Marble Hill and Lutesville, featuring the Marble Hill Cornet Band, Sons of Veterans, and Odd Fellows. The Declaration was read, Rev Oswell gave welcome, and the Marble Hill Cartez Band performed. Minor mishaps occurred with a pair of horses and a misrouted Sunday school entry, but overall festivities included a church blessing, music, and a community dinner nearby.
