Union soldier silently stands watch over those buried in the Silent Camp section of Morris Hill. The statue was place there by the Women's Relief Corps in 1923.
Memorial Day is a time for us to remember those who have gone on from this earth to another place It can be a time of sadness, feeling the loss that the years have not completely healed as well as a time for hope. The hope that Jesus Christ offers us is described by the writer of the letter to the Thessalonians.
Brothers, we do not want you to be ignorant about those who fall asleep, or to grieve like the rest of men, who have no hope. We believe that Jesus died and rose again and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him. According to the Lord's own word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left till the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep. 1 Thessalonians 4:13-15
