Santa visits Moulton area churches and library
Rumors spread of anonymous donations to three local spots in Moulton. Santa left a piano at Fairview Church of the Brethren, a monetary gift at Huitown Christian Church, and a small donation to the local library to brighten Christmas decorations. A separate note recalls a knife-prike scare on a car tire and a harvest sale at the Methodist Church yielding over 1300. Also, a memory marks 31 years since Pearl Harbor.
