July 6: ON THIS DAY IN HISTORY
Briefly

The Brooklyn Daily Eagle provided reports on various notable events throughout history. In 1919, it commented on the muted Red demonstrations during a heat wave. In 1926, it detailed a memorial service at Greenwood Cemetery honoring the signers of the Declaration of Independence, attended by over 100 members of the Kings County Historical Society. In 1947, it reported on anticipated travel rushes following a holiday, noting a decrease in airline traffic and addressing crowd sizes at Coney Island.
The crimson uprising was confined to the thermometer.
More than 100 members gathered in the impressive granite chapel and spent a reminiscent hour with the nation's dead.
Airlines reported a slackening in holiday travel, with 21 fewer planes leaving LaGuardia Field yesterday than on Friday.
Highways that were thronged Friday and yesterday with outbound motorists looked nearer normal last night.
