The Christian Church was crowded to capacity for the Memorial Day Service. A parade was headed by the Elk City Band followed by American Legion members in uniform and several organizations represented with floats and decorated cars. The American Legion float was a cemetery scene in Flanders Field with its twenty-four white crosses and a Red Cross nurse scattering flowers on the graves. The United Daughters of the Confederacy, the KKK and the American Legion Auxiliary were also represented. Following the service, the firing squad fired a salute over the graves at the cemetery and taps were sounded. All ex-soldiers’ graves were decorated.
