Memorial Day 2017



Today has been set aside for remembering: the veterans in our families and all who served our country. In late January and early February I wrote about some Civil War veterans from my family:
  • John Wilson Smalley
  • Luman Chase
  • Ralph Chase
  • Jordan P. Albertson
  • Jesse B. Albertson
  • August Falk aka John Krause

In April I wrote about some veterans of World War I
  • Ruel Bond
  • Ernest Albertson
  • Marvin Smalley
  • George Raymond Slaight
  • Henry Wesley Slaight


Often we also use this day to remember our family members who have died and decorate their gravesites. Here are some photos from cemeteries visited on previous Memorial Days.
