Flag that was part of Lincoln funeral events is on display in Ohio

There is a new addition to the Ohio Statehouse rotunda in Columbus — a 155-year-old American flag. It is part of a display of Civil War artifacts related to the Abraham Lincoln funeral train. The 36-star flag flew over Capitol Square in April 1865. The flag was then given to David Nevin Murray for his efforts during the Civil War. • Article
