“Unveiling of Tablet

 

Next Saturday at 3 o’clock, Old York Chapter, D.A.R. will hold appropriate exercises for the unveiling of a tablet to the sixty-three minute men who left York for the front in the American Revolution.

 

The tablet will be placed on a boulder, which has been placed on the green in front of the town hall, the stone marking the spot where soldiers started out on their journey. A fine program has been arranged, and the exercise will be well worth attending. The following is the program.
