Capture Cincinnati Entry - Cincinnati Goes to War
Posted by Cindy | Filed under Photographs, Stories
This is another shot taken at Union Terminal in the Cincinnati History Museum. This particular shot was in a section called Cincinnati Goes to War. The area showed the impact the war had on Cincinnati and it’s citizens.
This was the section that showed was close to the end. It was two mother’s and their homes back to back. One was receiving a Western Union gram that delivered news that her son was seriously wounded in action and the other was greeting her son coming home.
I wish I could have capture both in one shot because the irony of the good and bad news really struck me but instead I choose to focus souly on the Western Union gram. Here is what it reads -
“Mrs Charlotte Toewater
Regret to inform you you son Private Fredrick R Toewater was seriously wounded in action nine February in Germany. Mail address follows direct from hospital with details.”
