good; the barbecue was pro-
nounced the best ever eaten at a
similar occasion. In fact, there
nothing to mar the day’s
festivities, and everybody enjoy-
ed it to the fullest.
i ractically the entire commun-

for that reason it is difficult to
give credit for its success to any
individuals. At the risk of hav-

however, we are going to name

of special mention,
named deserves more than mere
credit, for he worked continuous-

not to mention the time spent in
buying the beeves. Of course,
these men had able assistants,
but they were the directing force
that planned the various events
and carried them through with-

Herbert Dunlavy was one of
the first Goose Creek boys to en-
list, leaving here in April 1917 to
join the Marines.
His bravery, and the fact that
he, singled handed, captured a
machine gun. won for him all
the honors of a hero, his mother
receiving, after his death, the
Distinguished Service Cross. It
was the following day after the
capture of the machine gun that
young Dunlavy fell in battle at
Belleau Wood.
At the time her son enlisted
with the Marines, Mrs. Perry,
then Mrs, Hall, was conducting
a boarding house i n Middle
Town, having moved from the
Bay front to what is now the
Goose Creek Hotel. There are
many here yet that remember
Herbert Dunlavy, then a youth
of 18 years.
