For the past few weeks, I have been updating and renaming
files for Frankish Letters Book 5. Most of the letters I worked on were written
in 1887. This made me wonder how Mr. Frankish would celebrate Memorial Day. After
some research, I discovered that until 1890, Memorial Day was celebrated in all the states of
the North. It was only after World War I, that the holiday changed to honor the
memory of all Americans who died in any war – not only Civil.
