The John Bartram Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution participated in the annual Wreaths Across America Ceremony held at the Shiloh Cemetery in Fruitland Park on Dec. 16 hosted by the American Legion Family Post 219. The Wreaths Ceremony is held nation-wide at the same time.
A history of how the Worchester family, from the State of Maine, developed the idea for distributing the wreaths was presented. Following the ceremony, there was the laying of wreaths for 119 veterans, who served their country and are resting at the cemetery.
