ORFORDVILLE—Funeral arrangements have been set for Cpl. Benjamin Neal, who was killed last week in Afghanistan.
A public visitation will be from 4 to 9 p.m. Monday at Parkview High School, 106 W. Church St., Orfordville. Immediate and military family only will have a private visitation from 2 to 4 p.m.
