On May, 1, 1865, three weeks after General Robert E. Lee surrendered at the Appomattox Court House, ending the Civil War, the first Memorial Day was observed. Recently liberated enslaved Africans and Colored troops held the commemoration in Charleston, South Carolina to consecrate a new and proper burial site for 250 Confederate prisoners who died from exposure and disease.
A Memorial Day service that will be held in West Nyack on May 31, 2021 at 10:00am at Mount Moor Cemetery provides a direct connection to the origins of the solemn holiday. One of the ten veterans, whose headstones were replaced this month by the Department of Veteran Affairs and will be unveiled on Monday is Solomon Miller, a witness to Lee’s surrender.

After taking a wait-and-see approach to the coronavirus vaccines, Sean Salmonson of Dutchess County received his second shot of the Moderna vaccine at a former JC Penney store at the Poughkeepsie Galleria on May 22.
Salmonson, a 28-year-old mechanic from the City of Poughkeepsie, said he remembered visiting the JCPenney store before it closed in October. However, the mechanic also recalled the lack of notoriety and product availability that plagued the department store for years. This store was too big, Salmonson said. They didn t have too many name-brand stuff and the stuff they had was old and out of style.
