Local hero

Allen McCloskey has been on the job as Galveston, Indiana's gravedigger since 1952. But he's also worked plenty of odd jobs around town, and treats everyone like family, which might explain why a good chunk of the town gathered recently for a surprise party in McCloskey's honor. Correspondent Steve Hartman went to Galveston to find out why McCloskey is such a beloved neighbor.
