FRANKLIN (AP) — Ohio cities have removed Confederate markers in the wake of last week’s violent protest in Charlottesville, Virginia, over the planned removal of a statute of Gen. Robert E. Lee. Police in Franklin on Saturday asked businesses near the site of a former marker to close early out of precaution. A stone marker in Franklin commemorating Lee was removed Thursday, the Hamilton-Middletown Journal News reported.
