A Hundred and One Years Later

November 11, 1919, was the first anniversary of the signing of the armistice that ended the fighting in the Great War, the war now known as World War I. A hundred years ago today, the Columbia Republican published the following remembrance of the celebration of Armistice Day in Hudson.

Today, one hundred years later, Armistice Day, now known as Veterans Day, will be marked as it has been in Hudson for at least the past quarter century. The observance will begin at 10:15 a.m. with the laying of a wreath at the Veterans Monument in Seventh Street Park. Immediately thereafter, the parade will line up and proceed down Warren Street to Fourth Street and on to the courthouse for Veterans Day services. The featured speaker for the services is L. Edward Moore, chief of the Hudson Police Department.
