Marshfield Welcomes Home Soldiers A Two Day Oration
The town honors Company A returning from Porto Rico with a two day welcome Julying a public program at the armory and opera house. The discharge ceremony paid out about $13,000 to veterans as crowds gathered for processions, speeches by Rev Rollo Branch and Mr Frank A. Cady, and a supper in the Wegner building. The address lauded volunteers, recalled Civil War kinship, and urged lasting citizen service, concluding with best wishes to the returning men.
