Yes, my gr grandfather, Elmer Loudon and wife, Mary Greely Loudon (Phillips), had that store. The one picture I have of Elmer, Mary and Erwin (my grandfather) is outside their house. I think it is their house, I'll have to look more closely. I also have a very old, pencil sketch of a little girl standing by a well. The title is The Old Well, Maine Prairie, 1878. The artist also drew a picture of the Fowler Farm on Maine Prairie, though I don't have that one. I, too, have read stories regarding the store, probably from Ada Phillips. The information came from the Stearns Historical Museum and from an article written about her life in the 1980s. I'll keep looking through my pictures and information - Sue. Sug53@earthlink.net
