Relatives Receive Certificates From French Government
A Sunday service at First Reformed church honored eight local men who died serving in the great war as certificates from the French government were presented to their relatives. American Legion leaders and local ministers participated, with music by Professor G F Sadler and Carl Byers. The ceremony noted that eight area men sacrificed their lives, representing about three to four percent of those who served from the vicinity. The piece reflects on wartime sacrifice and the evolving memory of the dead through future American Legion memorials.
