Greencastle Items – Uncle John Stier died two weeks ago, and was buried in the Kintz cemetery. For many weeks he was entirely helpless, and a great care and burden on those who dutifully cared for him. Old John’s memory is one of these kind where the mantle of charity needs to be called into requisition and spread to its utmost capacity.
