Remembering a Relative Who Died at the Battle of Gettysburg

By Nate Feldman

Last week was Memorial Day, a time for Americans to remember people who sacrificed their lives in battle for this country.  I have a relative who did this.  His name was Reuben A. Howerter, and last week I submitted a letter to the Reading Eagle, a local newspaper, about Reuben and his death at the Battle of Gettysburg during the American Civil War.  This letter can be found here: https://www.readingeagle.com/news/article/letter-honoring-a-relative-who-perished-in-battle.  I hope I am able to honor Reuben's memory as best as possible with letters and posts like these.
