Memorial Day at Manor
Trovilla Council No. 158, Jr. O. U. A. M., of Manor, intended to observe Decoration Day. Invitations have been extended to other organizations and a number have promised to participate. The parade will form in Manor, and march to Brush Creek cemetery, where, after the appropriate ceremony , an address will be given by the Rev. Jno. Riley, of Fifth Avenue, Pittsburg. Rev. Riley is an old soldier, and, as an orator, stands second to none. Trovilla Council has been very fortunate in securing his services. A cordial invitation is extended to all ex-soldiers and sailors to join in the parade this day.
