The flag in front of the Marietta City Building flies at half-staff Thursday morning to honor former Mayor Joe Matthews, who served a record five terms in the post and died Sunday. He was also a member of the city fire department for 24 years. Mayor Josh Schlicher requested and received a proclamation from Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine for United States and Ohio flags at all public buildings in Marietta to fly at half-staff through sunset on the day of Matthews’ funeral, which is Saturday. (Photo by Art Smith)
