Scope and content
On Sunday morning, April 12, 1941 men of the 41st Division of the U.S. Army and their civilian friends and relatives gathered in a natural amphitheater at Camp Murray for an open air, sunrise Easter service. Two rough timber crosses, one on each side of an evergreen covered platform, and a white cross raised above and in the center, symbolized the scene on Calvary. The service was conducted by Chaplain M.M. VanPatten with special participation by Maj. Gen. George A White and Governor Arthur B. Langlie. (T. Times 4/13/1941, pg. 1) TPL-10326
