Carla and David Crouch, both retired U.S. Army veterans, salute during Memorial Day services in Sinking Spring. Carla is the chair of Sinking Spring Memorial Day Association Committee. According the June 19, 1873 edition of the Highland Weekly News, on May 31 that year “the citizens of the Springs and vicinity decorated the soldiers’ graves. There was a good organ at the cemetery and plenty of young ladies ready and able to use it. We had good music and an address by Hon. P. N. Wickerham before decoration, and one by Rev. Mr. Peak afterwards. Both were very able and appropriate for the occasion.” Wickerham was the Ohio state representation at the time from the district. The Sinking Spring Memorial Day obserance is believed the longest running one in Highland County.
