Photo of William McCall – In Loving Memory of William McCall December 31, 1888 - October 23, 1917 Then strew bright flow'rs on ev'ry grave Wherein a hero lies, And let the dear old banner wave 'Neath freedom's sunlit skies. The first clear notes the bugle blew, Were special calls to them, And with the country's weal in view They went forth strong, armed men. Left fathers, mothers, sisters, wives, And children young and pure, And held as naught their precious lives, That homes might still endure. To them be honor, earnest, true, And may we ne'er forget: They died for me, they died for you, Where hostile armies met. Come, lay upon each grassy bed A garland rich and rare, Wherever sleep our soldier dead, Let them this tribute share. ---Anonymous
