Non-Catholic Chicago Lithuanian observed Decoration Day on Sunday, May 30, with appropriate exercises at the Lithuanian National Cemetery, which is located on Kean Avenue in Justice Park, Illinois. In spite of inclement weather, about two thousand people came to the cemetery.

Mass was celebrated by Reverend B. Jankauskas (a National Catholic). Addresses were delivered by Attorney F. P. Bradchulis and Pius Grigaitis. The body of Mrs. Skinderis of Bridgeport was interred in the cemetery on that day.

After the program in the cemetery was over, the people went to Leafy Grove, which is only a short distance north of the cemetery, to attend a picnic given by those Lithuanian organizations which founded the cemetery. The people enjoyed themselves there until late in the evening.

A well is being sunk in the cemetery at a cost of about one thousand dollars. Many improvements have been made in the cemetery during the past year. A number of burial lots were sold during the commemoration program.
