Nancy, I remember the Ressler garage in Richburg although I was quite young at the time. Seems there was a fire there back in the 50's. My uncle, Bob Saunders was injured fighting that fire. Grandpa Saunders owned the Empire Oil Well Supply Co. just a couple lots down from the garage. My home was directly across from that company, adjacent to the Casa Nova Grill. There are absolutely no businesses left in Richburg today. What graduating class where you in at Bolivar? Mine was the class of 1968 at Richburg. My mom Ora Jean Saunders Bullock was the secretary at that school from 1955 through 1988. My grandmother, Ruth Saunders still lives in Richburg. She taught school there from the 1940's thru 70's.
