This plaque is located at the entrance of the Cemetery. It describes the Memorial Day Order given by General John A. Logan who was the Commander-in-Chief of the Headquarters of the Grand Army of the Republic in Washington DC. The order directed the graves of those who died in defense of our country to be decorated to honor their service on May 30, 1868 thereby establishing the first Memorial Day. General Logan is entombed at the entrance to the cemetery.
