SESQUICENTENNIAL MEMORIAL DAY SERVICE



One Hundred and Fifty years after the Civil War came to a close, we at Magnolia Cemetery stop to commemorate the tragic cost in human lives during the War. The public is invited to join the United Daughters of the Confederacy and the Sons of the Confederate Veterans this Saturday May 9, 2015, 10:00 AM at the Soldiers Grounds in Magnolia Cemetery for the sesquicentennial Memorial Day Service.

South Carolina ranks third in lives lost on the Confederate side. It has been said as many men died in captivity during the Civil War as were killed in the whole of the Vietnam War. Here at Magnolia Cemetery we estimate over 3,000 Confederate soldiers are buried within the Soldiers Ground and privately owned family lots.

Many families lost more than one member to this unprecedentedly violent war. One example of a family that suffered a great lost would be the Huger family. Daniel Elliott Huger, II and Carolina Proctor Huger lost three sons to this conflict. Daniel Elliott Huger, III killed in action at Chickamauga, Stephan Proctor Huger killed in action at Shiloh and Joseph Proctor Huger killed in action at Fort Sumpter. All were Great grandsons of Arthur Middleton and Mary Polly Izard of Middleton Place Plantation and Gardens. This story and many others like it can be found in Professor PatrickHarwood’s newest book IN THE ARMS OF ANGELS Charleston’s Treasure of History, Mystery and Artistry sold here at Magnolia and many other location around Charleston.

I encourage you to attend the service and take the time to stroll through the cemetery and witness for yourselves the history of Magnolia Cemetery.

  3. Today Memorial Day is celebrated over the United States. No matter where it originated, it can be an important vacation that remembers the ones that died for the united states, and acts to remind folks of the costly price of warfare. There are lots of formal ceremonies that happen in observance. Many of these are presented in local areas, and are available by contacting an area Veterans of Foreign Wars office or local city federal agency. Some traditional situations are the following.

  10. https://www.visualaidscentre.com/service/eyes-specialist-delhi/ Action games are more prominent than other games. Compared to adventure games they are more interactive and provide a greater adrenalin rush. They basically belong to that variety which includes striking games like fighting, star wars, space travels, wrestling, situational games and many more and we, at xpert4u.co.uk provide you with all these and many more.
