The Origin Of
Memorial Day
The hallowed custom of observ
ing Confederate Memcrial day
with flowers, tears and prayers,
song and oratory, was first sug
gested in Columbus, Georgia. It
was Miss Lizzie Rutherford who
originated the idea of a Memorial
day for the Confederate braves
who “Lie in the graves of their
glorious deeds.” The thought came
to her one afternoon in January,
1866, at her home in Columbus,
following her return trip from the
cemetery where she and other
ladies had been caring for the
graves of the men in gray who
were sleeping therein. The beauti
ful idea promptly budded into a
suggestion, and this immediately
blossomed into the organization
of the “Ladies’*Memorial Associa
tion of Columbus.” .
That loyal southern woman,
Mrs. Charles J. Williams, whose
husband, the gallant. Colonel Wil
liams of the first Georgia Regu
lars, died in in defense of the
Stars and Bars, was chosen sec-i
retary of the association. That‘
body requested her to write a
letter and send a copy of it to the ‘
various patriotic societies
throughout the South, and also]
have the same published in south- |
ern newspapers., advocating the
annual observance of the 26th day ‘
of April as Memorial Day. That
date was very appropriately sug- |
gested by Miss Rutherford, as it
was on April 26th, 1865, that
Joseph E. Johnston surrendered
to Sherman, which meant the real
close of the war, i
Mrs. Williams drafted the letter,
a famous document in post bellum
fiterature, and it went forth on its
hallowed mijssion, inspired by
woman’s patriotism and woman’s
lové. It bore the date “Columbus,
Georgia, March 12th, 1868,” and
mode its first public appearance
in the Columbus Times.
Quoting from the published
communication:
“We beg the assistance of the
press and the ladies throughout
the South to aid us in the effort
to set apart a certain day to be
observed from the Potomac to the
Rio Grande, and be handed down
through time as a religious cus
tom of the south, to wreathe the
graves of our martyred dead with
flowers; and we propose the 26th
day of April as the day. Let every
city, town, and village join in the
pleasant duty.
Miss Lizzie Rutherford became
the wife of Rosewell Ellis, who
had heroically carried a gleam-
ing sword as he followed the
Southern Cross. The breezes are
singing their requiem among the
flowers that bloom over her grave
in Linwood Cemetery, Columbus,
Ga., near the murmuring Chat
tahoochee. Among the inscrip
tions on her tomb are the follow
lpg.werds: 5.7 "
“The Soldier’s. Friend”; “She'
hath done what she could”; *ln
her patriotic heart sprang the
thought of our Memorial Day.”
“Voices have blessed her, now
silent and dumb;
“Voices will bless her for long
years to come.”
