Memorial Day 1922, The American Legion held a short program at the "Legion Cemetery" to commemorate Memorial Day and those comrades who had gone before to "Post Everlasting."  Car and delivery truck owners assembled at Fourth Ave to convey the crowds who wished to attend the ceremony.  Members of the 21st Infantry stationed in Seward received credit for an impressive service.  The services were held at the grave of LC Staughan who had served in World War One.  He was a member of the Signal Corps and had died in Kodiak.  Because he expressed a desire to make Seward his home his wife had him interred there.
