U D C Picnic Plans Foiled by Rain at Northpark in 1908
The U D C chapter planned a Northpark picnic on June 8 1908 but heavy rain moved the event to the opera house. Veterans and speakers attended with Rev Dr Ki McNair leading prayers, Hon J P Boyd giving welcome remarks, and Hon Will Hays delivering a noted address. A Confederate Cross of Honor was pinned on veterans J M Nickell and Charles Jordan amid music, recitations, and a large banquet for 225 at city hall including elaborate Southern fare and praise for the Lost Cause.
