July 8th first one!

Ended my day yesterday the way it started except on the other side of the island at Plum Cove. Just can’t beat our daily views! Looking forward to getting outside this weekend since Mother Nature is gracing us with some rays!

Gloucester Fire Department Invites Residents to Firefighters Memorial Service

GLOUCESTER —  Chief Eric Smith invites the public to join the Gloucester Fire Department at its annual Firefighters Memorial service this weekend.

WHEN:

Sunday, June 10, at 9 a.m.

WHERE:

Cherry Hill Cemetery next to Addison Gilbert Hospital

WHO:

• Gloucester Fire Department
• Gloucester Fire Fighters Relief Association

WHAT:

The Gloucester Fire Department will hold a ceremony to honor the deceased firefighters who have served the Gloucester community.

A drum-led procession will march up Washington Street, from the Department of Public Works to the Firefighters Memorial Site at Cherry Hill Cemetery. Once there, the department will honor its fallen firefighters and will place wreaths and flags on their graves.

“It’s an honor to pay our respects to those who have come before us and sacrificed on behalf of the City of Gloucester,” Chief Smith said. “I hope residents will take the time to join us for this traditional tribute to the firefighters who served our community and dedicated their lives to keeping it safe.”

Here’s part of an article from the June 12 1922 Gloucester Daily Times naming those lost for that year’s ceremony.  It is difficult to read due to the method of digitization but, sadly, the list is long.

Interestingly, it also appears in the June 12 1922 edition of the Gloucester Daily Times that the Firemen’s Monument was dedicated at Cherry Hill Cemetery that year.

The Department is to be commended for maintaining a long history of this memorial service. Godspeed to all past and present.
