Memorial Day 2024 Picture of Flag Planted in front of the tombstone of Major General Frederick Funston.

Footnote from the Philippine American War Research Project.

It was not until February, 1901, that Aguinaldo’s actual hiding-place was discovered. Col. Frederick Funston formulated a scheme and led an expedition with four other American officers to capture Gen. Aguinaldo. Authorized by Arthur MacArthur, the raiding party consisted of Col. Funston, Captain Newton, Lieutenant Hazzard, Lieutenant Kitchell and 82 Filipino soldiers loyal to the Americans..

The Malolos Republic collapsed after the capture of General Aguinaldo. The American troops moved in to occupy the Philippines.

President Roosevelt announced official conclusion of the Insurrection on 4 July 1902. General Funston was then sent to the Presidio in San Francisco, as commander of the Department of California.

On May 14, 1903 President Roosevelt dedicated the Dewey Monument in San Francisco's Union Square as a tribute to the sailors of the US Navy commemorating the victory of Admiral George Dewey and the American fleet over Spanish forces at Manila Bay.

In 1906, General Funston ordered the US Army demolition team to blow up certain buildings and was credited for great services to San Francisco when The City was devastated by earthquake and fire.

Brigadier General Frederick Funston, died of a heart attack on February 19, 1917. His body laid in state at San Francisco’s City Hall rotunda on February 23rd and 24th, 1917, and was buried at the Presidio of San Francisco. General Funston’s widow and surviving family members lived in San Francisco. Mrs. Eda Funston died in the early thirties and was buried next to her husband in the Presidio.

The original four.

The first four Rotarians. From left: Gustavus Loehr, Silvester Schiele, Hiram E. Shorey, Paul P. Harris.

On 23 February 1905, Paul P. Harris, Gustavus Loehr, Silvester Schiele, and Hiram E. Shorey gathered in Loehr’s office for what would become known as the first Rotary club meeting.

Harris’ desire for camaraderie among business associates brought together these four men and eventually led to an international organization of service and fellowship.

Each of the first four Rotarians brought different professional perspectives to the organisation.

Our Legacy Community Project is preventing plastics from reaching the ocean.

Microplastics are everywhere. What does that mean for our immune systems? Tiny particles of plastic turn up in our drinking water, blood and even regions of the Earth thought to be pristine—so it’s vital we learn what they’re doing to us.
