Description:Excerpt from The American Legion Weekly, Vol. 6: May 23, 1924 Through a small item of this kind I learned that Private John J. Kenney will not be resting in a pauper's grave this Memorial Day. He was buried in one in April, 1922, by the authorities of Newark, New Jersey. They did not even know he'd been in the service. He died penniless and without friends. A woman who thought that she knew him spent nearly two years establishing his identity. When she had established it she took her information to Newark Post of the Legion, which - all honor to itl - acted promptly. It gave Kenney a military funeral. The body was taken from the unhonored grave in a ag-draped casket on a gun caisson to the Cemetery of the Holy Sepulchre, where a volley was fired and Taps sounded over the new and honored grave. They say that news is something new. Probably this inci dent is not new, and therefore not worth much editorial playing up. However, the thought that many times before veterans have saved the bodies of comrades from remaining in pauper graves did not interfere with the thrill I got. I shall have the thrill again when I hear of another such. Instance. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
