Civil War history

Confederate General Robert E. Lee (Charles Eberle Jr., left) and U.S. President Abraham Lincoln (George Buss, right) were among those who brought Civil War history back to life during the Van Wert City Schools’ History Day presentation at the S.F. Goedde Building on Thursday. In the middle, fifth-graders learn some of the Civil War-era dances. A story and more photos will appear in Saturday’s independent.
