THE FOLLOWING IS A TAPS ON TUESDAY RELEASE
This week’s Taps on Tuesday will be held at the Vermilion County War Museum, 307 North Vermilion. It starts at 6:00 p.m. under the shade of the maple tree on the front lawn. Following a brief program, Taps will be sounded to honor our veterans.
On Tuesday, August 15th, the program will be at Spring Hill Cemetery, and will feature local historian Alan Woodrum. He will tell about the life of another almost forgotten Vermilion County resident of the 1800’s, who achieved national fame and acclaim. The man is Colonel Jesse Harper, whose biography calls him a farm boy, lawyer, editor, author, orator, scholar and reformer. Harper helped form two Infantry regiments during the Civil War.
