VERNON MEXICAN VETERANS
They Will Meet at Nevada
Next Friday
The Mexican Veterans of
Vernon county will hold their annual reunion at Nevada, Friday,
September 14th.
They will meet at the
court house at 11 o’clock, call the roll, elect officers, and then
indulge in a banquet at W. C. Brown’s lunch room.
Dr. E. R. Morerod, who
died Sunday night was a member of this association and was corresponding
secretary. He will be missed by his comrades when they meet here next
Friday. He had attended every meeting since the association was
founded. Secretary Chas. P. McRay received a letter from Dr. Morerod
asking him to correspond with members of the association urging them to
be present at the coming meeting.
“I don’t know the cause
of the Doctor’s death,” said Capt. McRay, “but suppose he went like all
of us are going. He was the life of the association, and we will all
miss him very much.”
The little band is
growing smaller year by year. Yet there are a number of hale, hearty
old boys left to call the rolls for years to come.
