On this day in Sioux City history: The Floyd Monument dedication ceremony was held on May 30, 1901. Thousands attended the Memorial Day dedication ceremonies, and many came by a special train that was provided free by the Sioux City and Pacific Railway Company. The monument honors Sergeant Charles Floyd, the only member Lewis and Clark Expedition to die during the journey.

THIS DAY IN HISTORY: 

Titanic's Last Survivor Dies (2009)
More than 1,500 lives were lost when the Titanic sank on its maiden voyage in 1912. However, several hundred of the ship's 2,200 passengers managed to survive. Among them was Millvina Dean, who, at just three months of age, was the ship's youngest passenger. Though she escaped with her mother and brother, her father did not survive. Eventually, she became the disaster's last living survivor.
