APRIL 19, 1930
The Memorial Cross erected by a grateful people to the. memory of the Soldier and Sailor, sons of Weymouth, who gave their lives for their country and the remaining tablets bearing names of citizens of Weymouth who participated in the several wars in which this country has been engaged were dedicated this afternoon.
Thousands of townspeople, friends and representatives of neigh- boring towns were present to witness the dedication and the goal for which the committee had so ardously worked for had become a reality and one of the most beautiful and lasting tributes to American patriotism to be found in this part of the country has become a part of the Civic Center of the Town of Weymouth.
The Memorial Cross which stands on the knoll east of the south wing of the High School is built of Barre White Granite and is 28 feet in height, and when electric lights are turned on this cross at night it stands out and becomes an object of great beauty. On the upper part of the cross is a bronze Crusaders sword and below a bronze wreath on which is inscribed the words "Pro Patria", and near the base the inscription "In Memory of the Soldier and Sailor, Sons of Weymouth who gave their lives for their Country.
The program opened with the singing of Handels "Jubilate" by a chorus of 100 voices led by James W. Calderwood, supervisor of music in the Weymouth Schools, assisted by Miss Alva Boyden of Brockton, soloist and Mrs. William A. Hodges, accompanist.
The exercises of the unveiling of the Memorial Cross were conducted by the members of Reynolds Post No. 58, G. A. R. assisted by Veterans of Foreign Wars, Sons of American Revol- ution, American Legion and Sons of Union Veterans. The dedi- cation exercises were read by acting Commander Waldo Turner, Senior Vice Commander Department of Massachusetts, G. A. R. Arthur R. Taylor, Junior Vice Commander, Sons of American Revolution, and Rev: John B. Holland, the beloved pastor of Sacred Heart Church acting as Chaplain. Near the Cross stood Stanley Heald representing the American Legion, as Officer of the Day. Charles J. Downing, representing the Sons of Union Veterans, as Adjutant and William A. Connell, representing the American Legion as Officer of the Guard. At a given signal the the two large American flags which veiled the cross were released by Mrs. Edward B. Nevin, daughter of Gen. James L. Bates, Weymouth's highest ranking officer in the Civil War who was assisted by Commander David Dunbar of Reynold's Post No. 58, G. A. R.
