Dina, Back to your history question. I have found that I have some books that might interest you, but only one is still in print. I have the 1870-1970 Centennial book that was produced when Aurora celebrated it's centennial in 1970. I have a book titled "Track to the Past, A Pictorial History of Aurora, Missouri." The David Wheat Family genealogy (I am related to the Wheat family). "Places I Have Lived and Worked" by Dale Lee Hilton. "McNatt Family Record 1706-1992." I have some more things packed away in boxes, but that is a start. The "Track to the Past" can be ordered from the Aurora Advertiser (local newspaper) and they might be able to tell you about the Centennial book. The other books were private gifts from family friends and weren't published for sale. On page, well, this book doesn't have page numbers...so it's near the middle of the Aurora Centennial book (not a real book, but a magazine type) We have a picture of H.P. Grammar with a picture of the inside of his store with this caption: "Two different kinds of food stores were among Aurora's largest in the period between 1900 and 1930. One, at upper left, was Grammer's Grocery and Market, located on North McNatt avenue. Because it delivered orders brought or telephoned in, it had customers all over town." I was looking through several of the books and the name Grammer comes up several times.

The name GRAMMER caught my attention. Are there others on the list who are researching Grammers at Marionville and Aurora? If so, I have info on the family to share and would like to learn more myself.
