Carol Perkins: Memorial Day and Our History Previous Column: Matters of the Heart By Carol Perkins "You think you're finished with the past, but the past is not finished with you," Metcalfe County High School history teacher Rob Bunch quoted from Friedrich Nietzsche when I asked about the insignificance of young people studying history and knowing about holidays such as Memorial Day. "I'm not sure who said this, but it's true." He goes on to say, "History is a mirror. We see ourselves and our ancestors. The more we learn about the past, the more involved we will be in our community, family, and in life." When we talked about Memorial Day, he knew without hesitation all about its history. Post-Civil War, the property was taken from General Lee (who owned 200 acres) and became what is now known as Arlington Cemetery. "General Lee could stand on his porch and see the graves of soldiers his men had put there. This was part of his punishment." The first military burial was in May of 1864, and it became a national cemetery in June of that year.

Some Traditions Shall Not Die By Mike Watson Perhaps my generation will be the last to honor the dead, perhaps not, but it seems fewer people make the annual trek--more often for some of us--to the final resting places of their loved ones. This weekend, Memorial Day, or Decoration Day as it was once known, is the traditional time to revisit our past, reconnect with family and old friends, and honor not only those who died in the service of our great nation, but all deceased veterans, as well as all our revered ones. I sort of grew up in graveyards. By that I mean the cemetery was not strange to me, nor was there ever any fear or trepidation of these places. Growing up in the 1960s in a close-knit, rural area, deaths were not uncommon, and when they occurred we visited the local funeral home, attended funerals, and went to the cemetery. As a matter of respect, we stopped at family cemeteries throughout the year, but Memorial Day was the time to talk about family, to place floral tributes, and to visit with family and friends we rarely saw otherwise. This tradition was instilled in me. I have not wavered. In the 1980s Mrs. Margie Coffey and I undertook a monumental task--the recording of marked graves in the county. Together, and with much help from many supporters, we compiled seven volumes. Published by the Adair County Library and the Adair County Genealogical Society; there came another volume. And in a year or so there will be a volume nine. We still find small family burying grounds and document them. This week I made an early start. 2024-05-27 08:14:16 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Veterans and Veterans Day
