CHAUTAUQUA COUNTY AND ITS PEOPLE
Dedicatory address was delivered by Rev. Alfred E. Ran- dell, pastor of the church.
May 10-Seventy-eight men of the 77th Division who fought in the great Argonne-Meuse battle last autumn and helped smash the German military machine, returned home to-day, and marched in the final parade before re- turning to civil life. The weather was unfavorable, but huge crowds assembled on the principal streets and at the approaches to the railroad station to cheer the re- turning soldiers. It was February 27, 1918, that a con- tingent of 150 men (the largest that was sent from here at any one time during the war) left here in civilian clothes, and they bore little resemblance to a military company. To-day one could mark the contrast as these veterans of the Argonne passed in review. Major Scott, commander of the 306th Machine Gun Battalion, was in charge of the returning contingent. One of the first to jump from the train when it arrived was Sergt. William R. Reynolds, who was in charge of the contingent when it left Jamestown, February 27, 1918. On the platform with the reception committee were Mayor S. A. Carlson, F. H. Mott and Dr. J. J. Mahoney, the members of the draft board that called the men into service.
May 19-Fifteen men of the 346th Infantry of the 87th D vision arrived home in Jamestown, May 15, unheralded and with no previous announcement of their return. Any plan for a home-coming reception was interrupted by their sudden appearance in Jamestown. These boys, twelve from Jamestown, two from Celoron and one from Lakewood, left Jamestown, May 26, 1918.
May 23-Forty men of the 78th Division return to their home city. Veterans of many battles are given an enthusiastic welcome by fellow-townsmen. Crowds lined the street and cheered vociferously as soldiers passed. Most of the men were members of the 307th Field Artil- lery, of the 78th or Lightning Division. A few were attached to the headquarters company of the same divi- sion. The men paraded under the command of First Sergt. Roger S. Bucklin. To-day's contingent does not by any means comprise all the local men in the 78th Division. There are a number of Jamestown men still in camp, and several have not yet landed in this country. Battery C guidon fluttered at the head of the column in parade.
May 26-Poland welcomes Corp. H. J. Eccles and Clan Erickson, of the 78th Division, 307th Field Artil- lery, who arrived home to-day from France.
May 27-The elm trees recently purchased by Ellicott Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution, in memory of the five boys from Falconer, who lost their lives in the World War, have been placed in Pine Hill Cemetery.
May 29-Decoration for Gen. C. J. Bailey; was awarded French War Cross and made officer of Legion of Honor. Gen. Bailey sailed to-day from Brest, with the SIst or Wildcat Division.
Mayville, July 8-Austin J. McConnell, Charles L. An- derson and George Dudley returned from France last week.
