THERE IS AN ERROR IS THE ARTICLE IN THE STAR ABOUT THE BUY
OUT OF STORE GOODS.
THE BUYER'S NAME WAS MR. C. W. POYNER, MY GREAT, GREAT UNCLE. HE AND
MY GREAT GRANDFATHER, B. P. POYNER OWNED THE POYNER BROTHERS STORE
IN NEWTON FOR MANY YEARS.
Please, correct this for history! You can see how the mistake was
made.
