Excerpt from Public Services in Memory of Roger Wolcott
The memorial services were held in Symphony Hall, Boston, on the eighteenth day of April, 1901, beginning at half-past two o'clock in the afternoon. The women's committee of the Massachusetts Volunteer Aid Associ ation provided decorations for the hall, designed by and arranged under the direction of Mr. Holker Abbott. They were extremely simple and effective, consisting of laurel garlands festooned over the balconies, laurel wreaths upon the organ, and a large bunch, of white lilies in front of the reading desk. The flags of the Military Order of the Loyal Legion of the United States, of which Governor Wolcott was a member, were grouped upon the right side of the stage, high above the chorus, and the colors of the First and Second Corps of Cadets were placed with Governor Wolcott's State flag toward the audience upon the opposite side.
The details of the services and the names of the various organizations under whose auspices they were held appear upon the programme printed on page 56 of this volume.
The entrances and exterior of the building were in charge of members of the Boston police, under the immediate direction of Robert F. Clark, chairman of the Boston board of police.
The audience were escorted to seats by the members of Governor Wolcott's staff, who were assisted by details of officers and enlisted men, in full dress uniform, from the First and Second Corps of Cadets and Troop A, the National Lancers, - one soldier being stationed at each door on the floor and balcony and a detail in charge of an officer at each entrance.
The necessary expenses were defrayed by a few per sons who had been associated with Governor Wolcott officially, either in the State government, on his staff or in the Massachusetts Volunteer Aid Association.
