Don Stevens

Mr. Don Stevens of Maretburg, Ky. would like to announce that he has cracked enough walnuts, grown enough vegetables and raised enough cows. He wants everyone to know how grateful he is to have spent many years on his grandfather’s farm with the best farmer’s wife a farmer could have, his beloved Teet.  However, knowing all great things come to an end; he has decided to relocate for eternity to be with his Savior Jesus Christ.
