Thursday, Aug. 18 was a beautiful summer day at St. Stephen Cemetery and Prairie in Carol Stream. John Monino, representing Milton Township's Cemetery Authority, dedicated a rebuilt well in the name of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Joliet. The story of how the well came to be refurbished goes back almost one year. At the annual St. Stephen Family Day and Mass last September, board member Jeff Castle noticed what he thought was dangerous concrete rubble until he further investigated. He realized that the rubble covered a well.
