  • Correction in Neal's column last week

    To the editor,

    I miswrote about the Annual Grist Mill Day being sponsored by the Historical Society. I have been informed that Grist Mill Day is actually sponsored by Bill Kelly Sr. and Bill Kelly Jr. of the Connorsville Mill and Company and all proceeds from that day are donated to the museum.
