Small group in Weldon still in dark

WELDON – Residents of seven homes in Weldon have had the misfortune of being without power for a full week, and one resident said she hopes the power company hasn't forgotten about them.

Jeannie Crockett of Weldon said she understands that Ameren's crews are busy – but she calls every day to make sure they don't forget the "Weldon Seven."
