Wellsville once again honored its veterans in an impressive
Memorial Day ceremony. Organized by the
Wellsville Memorial Council it is sponsored and supported by Wellsville’s
veteran organizations, businesses and many private individuals.
The annual observance began at the Soldier’s Memorial in the
4th Street Square, a parade down Main Street and concluding
ceremonies at the Newlin Memorial Chapel in Springhill Cemetery. The VFW Tommy Mackall Post served breakfast
and later a light lunch following the ceremonies. Pastor Darlene Zanders offered the prayers
and Mayor Susan Haugh represented Village officials. The sound system was furnished by the Croskey
brothers and the Wellsville High School Marching Band provided musical
selections. Members of the Wellsville
Police Dept. gave a 21 gun salute and Wellsville Fire Fighters provided an
escort. Columbiana County Commissioner
John Payne, pictured here, was the keynote speaker.
Wellsville’s observance is the finest in the valley. For more information on the Memorial Council
