Memorial Day at Muncie.

 

With crepe-bound arms, and accompanied by bands playing solemn dirges, the members of the glassworkers' labor organizations of Muncie, Ind., marched to Beech Grove cemetery last Sunday afternoon to decorate the graves of their departed brethren. The procession formed at Union Hall and was composed of the members of the A. F. G. W. U. and G. B. B. A. The line of march was down Charles street to Kilgore avenue and thence to the cemetery. Arriving at the burying ground short memorial services were held, John F. Tobin being the principal speaker.
