Daniel Tyson Church to hold special WWI service By Charles Winslow MATAMORAS, Ohio –The New Matamoras United Methodist Church will commemorate the anniver- sary of the end of the First World War with a special service on Sunday, Nov. 11. “When we realized that November 11 is on a Sunday, and it being the 100th anniversary of the Armistice, we thought we should hold a special service in honor of that fact,” explained John Miller, a local historian and lay leader with the church. The service, led by Pastor Dennis Williams, will in- clude a PowerPoint presentation with all of the names of World War I veterans buried in the Grandview Townships cemeteries as well as the reading of two poems: “In Flanders Field,” by John McCrea and “I Have a Rendezvous with Death” by Alan Seeger. Seeger, an American serving in the French Foreign Legion, was later killed during the Battle of the Somme, on July 4, 1916.
