Rush Run News
A number of people of the neighborhood met Tuesday at Hopewell and proceeded to clean up the old cemetery, which was badly needed. It will now look nice for the Decoration Day services.
Rush Run and Hopewell Sunday Schools will unite and observe Saturday, May 29th, as Decoration Day with services to be held at the Hopewell Church. Rev. Peregoy will deliver the address at half past ten. The program will begin by the two choirs singing "America" followed by prayers and more songs. The audience will be dismissed for a short time, when the comrade's graves will be strewn with flowers, then the audience will reconvene at the church.
The following soldiers are buried at Hopewell:
PECK, David Sr.-- who was Captain of a Company in the War of 1812
MILLER Jacob -- also of the War of 1812
ASHBY Abel
