Retiring captain will miss his fire “family”
GREENVILLE – “I was 10 minutes into my first shift (as captain) when we
got a call on a structure fire with people trapped on the second
floor,” said retiring Greenville Fire Department Capt. Jeff Dohme. No
one was hurt, however, as someone had backed a van up to the structure
and those trapped were able to jump on top of it. That was 1999. Dohme
had already been with the department for a little over 13 years when he

How We Shopped
By Honest Abe Lincoln

food. We had two stores in my village named after the founder, Philip
"Gordon." Both stores sold food, and they catered to farmers with
