That would have been at least through the 1940's and 50's. I was in the store a lot as a kid, but really don't know the family, although I remember Dave Noonan working there, whom I think I remember people saying was the father of the woman of the couple who owned the store. Perhaps this will open up a lead for you to research the more recent family. ....Dave
