April 10 -- Monday afternoon the remains of the original Civil War soldier statue that stood near the Logan County Courthouse were laid to rest in Postville Park in Lincoln. The committee formed to replace the statue debated for a while on how to respectfully dispose of the broken soldier. They finally concluded Postville would be a suitable place. With permission from the city of Lincoln, a small ceremony took place; then the soldier was covered. A marker will be placed at the site to commemorate the statue.
