Manternach Family Builds Stony Point Grotto Near Monticello
The Norbert Manternach family four miles west of Monticello completed most of a grotto in under three months. The group used stone from their quarry and poured concrete formed by Rev. Eugene Lorenz. When finished, the grotto will be lit at night and water piped to plantings. Christina, the 217 year old daughter, inspired the effort with several family members contributing.
