This photo appeared in the Waverly Republican on 6/6/1945 and shows the Memorial Day parade as it made its way from the courthouse to Harlington Cemetery. Marching just behind the firing squad is the veterans group including men in service, others recently discharged, and still others who fought in previous wars. Ed Platte was officer of the day.
