Memorial Day, initially called Decoration Day, was established in 1868 to create a day of remembrance for those who have died in service of the United States.  "Happy" Memorial Day is not a phrase I would use, but maybe if you took a bit of time with the free links below you could find an article or two or five about your honored ancestor. That would make you happy!


Here are a couple of newspapers honoring this special day.

Historic newspapers are a crucial way of honoring all of our ancestors - on every day of the year.  But in all small and large towns and cities, I suspect that there was a newspaper article about almost all of those who served and paid the ultimate price for their service.

To assist you, here is a list of historic newspaper links for all the U.S. states (and DC) as well as some special collections. Please visit these links and find any and all of your ancestors and the stories of their lives.
