Peacefully slumbering under moss- grown mummies. or. mayhap. with out so much as a marble slab to mark their last resting place. are the bodies of men who, in that bloody Revolution- ary struggle, gave up their lives for the establishment of this great nation today. Heretofore these homes have slumbered unnoticed, while by their side flowers have been strewn upon the graves of the veterans of the civil war. There was no reason for the distinction except that in many instances the heroes of those early days had been forgotten. and it roomin- ed for the Sons and Daughters of the American Revolution to look up the last resting places of their forefathers and see them moperly nuirked and cared for. At the meeting of the joint commit- tee of the Sons and Daughters of the American ReVoluticn held at the resi. dence of Mrs. T. K. Noble in East ave. one, the plans for decorating the graves of Norwalk's Revolutionary soldiers were completed. The committee on Io- eating the graves have worked hard and have accomplished valuable results. One hundred and thirty grouse have been located. and Brookside, West Nor- walk and Cranbnry are yet to be heard from. A full list thus far identified is given below and if any erroni are known or graves overlooked people are asked to communicate with Col. Samuel Das- kam. Many of these graves were found in a deplorable condition of neglect; in some instances moss had tobe [scraped from the stones before the lettering could be docipbered. It is hoped that the descendants of these patriots. who risked their lives to establish indepen- dence which we today enjoy, will do something to improve the surroundings of these tombs. 0n Decoration Day the various sub- committees of the Daughters and Sons of the Revolution will mark each grave with a handsome American flag with the: figures I771} plainly stumped upon -The committee do Mask for (191 or- ationsdc-ut flowers. on they feel that such a request might interfere with the work of the Grand Army on Decoration Day, but they commend these graves to those who naturally would fut-l an interest‘in them. If those who are in the habit of iilching 111e111entoes placed by loving hands upon the graves of the departed should be seen with a flag marked 1776 every one may know it has probably been stolen from the grave of a patriot.
