Flag Services For Theodore Roosevelt at Oyster Bay, October (1919 Original Black & White Film)
Step into history with this poignant black and white film from 1919, capturing a solemn moment at the Youngs Memorial Cemetery in Oyster Bay, New York. On October 27, 1919, the Roosevelt memorial flag, carried across New York State in honor of Theodore Roosevelt, is brought to rest at his gravesite. Witness the touching scene as two young girls and a boy delicately place a flower bouquet and the memorial flag through the fence surrounding TR's grave. Shots from various angles depict the memorial flag being borne by young men up the steep pathway to the gravesite, symbolizing respect and tribute to the esteemed leader. Additionally, five girls are seen sewing the 48th and final star on the flag, likely at Cove School in Oyster Bay, amidst a backdrop of children and Boy Scouts. The film concludes with a heartfelt moment as Samuel Abbott, the originator of the memorial flag idea, tenderly places the flag on TR's gravesite, commemorating his enduring legacy.
