Former Indiana Governor Edgar Whitcomb will be honored during Statehouse ceremonies Thursday. Whitcomb died last week at the age of 98.
Ceremonies will begin this afternoon with an honor guard in the Statehouse rotunda. Condolence books will be available for the public to sign.
Ceremonies will continue throughout the day on Friday. A funeral procession will travel through downtown from the Indiana War Memorial to the Statehouse, where a public memorial service is to begin at noon.
Gov. Mike Pence has directed that flags be flown at half-staff from sunrise to sunset on the day of former Governor Whitcomb's public memorial, Friday, February 12, to honor former Governor Whitcomb's military and public service to Indiana and the nation.
