Current Events

I realize that many of you are out participating in numerous spring rituals which include farming, cutting grass, landscaping, and watching school sporting events. Still, since I received what I thought was good news the other day from some members of our community, I thought I would bother some of you for some verification of a recent 'current event'.

The newspaper reported last week that an elderly woman had left a million dollars to the Wyandot County Fair ! What great news! The fairboard is now brainstorming how best to use that money.

Then a couple days later someone told me that this same generous soul left farmland to(the former) St. Peter's church. The amount of acres was said to vary from 50 to 300 acres. Can you imagine all the good that can be done with that money??? The roof at St. Joesph's, the windows at St. Peter's and similar renovations at St. Mary's structure can be now completed without worry!! I'm sure the school could benefit from such a large donation, as well as progams for CCD, and our high school youth. The possibilities are endless? Our finance council must be thrilled!!

I would like to hear what you know about this wonderful windfall. I am hoping that this current event is very factual, if not, please let us know? We really do not want to repeat rumors, just the facts Madam!! Thanks!!


**4/26 **Okay, someone, who read the will, told me that the net proceeds from close to 50 acres was given to the former St. Peter's church. The rest of the estate goes into an endowment fund for scholarships for Upper Sandusky High School. The will was made out in 2002. Any other information would be appreciated.
