Veterans Day ceremony draws small Elyria crowd
About 30 people gathered around the Civil War monument in Ely Park for an eight minute memorial to war dead. Taps sounded by Joseph Gartman and a prayer by Rev. Kenneth Morris preceded a quiet observance as veterans and a few observers voiced disappointment over lack of planning after the Veterans Council disbanded. Despite the sparse turnout, the ceremony honored Elyria’s war dead with wreaths and tribute.
