OUR HONORED DEAD
Franklin (Ohio) Chronicle, Thursday, May 30,
1929
In Memory of Whom Memorial Day Is Observed.
Time rolls along and the Grim Reaper takes his toll unceasingly. With the assistance of comrade Arthur Barkalow of John Kell Post, G. A. R., and Legionnaire Harry Darmody of Russell McElfresh Post of the American Legion we have compiled the following list of soldiers dead that sleep in Woodhill cemetery. What memories cling to these names as you read them over! Old friends, men we knew when we were young, stalwart young men in those grim days of 61-'65. Before it is too late The Chronicle desires to establish this record. If we have missed anyone, and you know it, please tell us. We want our roster of the heroic dead of the Civil War, the Spanish-American War and the World War to be exact. Soon it will be too late to get this roll of honor complete. All of the Grand Army of the Republic will be gone and the American Legion will be closing up the gaps that death makes in its ranks. Give a Little Time, a little thought, on Decoration Day to these silent heroes.
