Copper Cross Replaced On First Methodist Church Steeple
A Valley Sheet Metal employee swung 125 feet in a boatswain chair yesterday to raise a new copper cross on the First Methodist Church steeple. The seven foot replica replaces the 65 year old original from 1890. Made by Al Yauger, the cross symbolizes eternity per Pastor Rev. Louis R. Wolter. The replacement follows wind damage and fits a 150th anniversary renovation, including stone work and chimney cap resetting. Ed Woods of WT Marx Co. oversaw most steeple work.
