Methodist Home Relocation Proposed From Greencastle
The Greencastle Methodist Orphans Home may move to Mooresville following a Board of Trustees vote to accept a relocation plan. The move would fund 30 acres near Mooresville with a cash payment, aiming to complete the transfer next year, while Greencastle will build a new home early next year. Miss Angie Godwin resigns as financial secretary after decades of leading the endowment, and a Deaconess will take charge of the Mooresville site with a helper in Greencastle.
