My readers may recall my mentioning Uncle Boyce Mayberry, a Civil War veteran who lived on up to the mid-1930s in Mayberry Township. Gloria Boyd of Norris City, who knew Uncle Boyce, called to tell me she had made a special visit to the cemetery where I had written he had been buried. She told me she could not find his monument. So I'll make a trip there to find out for myself just what the problem is, if any. Gloria picks up the Times-Leader at a drugstore in Norris City, she told me. ... Mrs. Donald York of York's Pharmacy on the square called me to say she had gathered a bunch of old prescriptions left in the attic of the old Lockwood Drugstore that she had recently sold. Mrs. York asked if I wanted them, and yes, I did, and drove down to McLeansboro to get them. It was nice to see my dad's old signature on prescriptions he had written for his patients. It was almost unbelievable they were still around after all these years, since he died in December 1941, right after Pearl Harbor. ... Two beautiful homes are now up for sale on South Washington Street, the Cloud home and Kenneth Kirkpatrick's home. Mr. and Mrs. Kirkpatrick operated a successful bed and breakfast for a number of years. Now retiring, they are giving up the business. Good luck! ... I recently went into the old Capitol Theatre building on the north side of the square, which is now an auction house displaying many items for sale, and at good prices, too. Looking up, one can still see the old beams crossing the ceiling which were there in the old days when we went to see the movies. There was a small cagelike place in front of the theater when movies were still running there and Mary Afflack was the ticket seller in the booth. Later, when the theater was moved to the east side of the square, Charlie Boyd was ticket seller instead of Mary. Those were the old days, unforgettable by those who experienced McLeansboro at that time and before the war, too. The ones managing the movie house were Charlie Blades, Red Mundy and Jack Sneed, mainly, that I can remember. And in front of the building next-door was, of course, the popcorn stand at a dime a sack. The movie cost 10 cents and the popcorn 10 cents, so one had a pretty cheap night out in those days! So long for now! . Helen Sue Johnson is a former McLeansboro resident currently living in Mt. Vernon
