STIEGEL, HENRY WILLIAM

"This is the story of Henry Stiegel, an iron worker, who had an ambition to create glass vases as lovely as those which grew by his forge. He succeeded. He grew wealthy, then profligate, he died in the almshouse. In his wealthy days, he had bequeathed a church to his township at a rental to be determined later. At his death he named the price—that the church should lay on its altar on the second Sunday of June, every year, a single red rose. 'The film shows excellent examples of early glass making. Might be useful in high school art classes, or in economics (early trades).' Advisory committee"
