Mortar shell memorials from Civil War unfold in Mt Vernon
In Mt Vernon Ohio a letter from EH Sprague recalls a gift of World War II era mortar shells from Vicksburg to the Union veterans. The shells, mounted on gate posts and later moved, were tied to the Joe Hooker post and Women’s Relief Corp. effort to honor fallen Union soldiers. The writer seeks permission to place the shells beside the soldiers’ monument with an inscription, noting unity of North and South.
