Eagle Archive: In 1923, sheriff busted the Hampstead fireman's carnival for gambling

Scouts honor veterans by placing flags on graves By Bryan Schutt, Times Staff Writer Wednesday, May 13, 2009 MANCHESTER — After Marshall Singer planted the American flag in the ground, he hurried to catch up with the rest of his fellow Cub Scouts in front of the next tombstone. Placing flag after flag, the 20 or so Scouts solemnly walked through grounds of the New Lutheran Cemetery off Locust Street in Manchester, honoring some of Carroll’s veterans in advance of Memorial Day. In total, roughly 170 graves were memorialized Tuesday night by the Scouts of Cub Scout Pack 320 in Manchester, joining in a tradition kept alive by the American Legion Post 200 in Hampstead.
