The pizza shop to which Anita referred was, in the 1960's, Applegates - it was a grocery store, and the owner was a butcher. Another shop was even older, however. The house, next to the present-day Post Office, was built in 1867. It was "Woolman's Grocery" until 1908, when it became "Stout's Grocery." In 1924 it was sold to William Wallace and became "Wallace's Meat Market." The Post Office was originally a barn for his delivery wagon. In 1945 the structure (which at one time had a porch on the front) was sold to James Courtney, and in 1952 it was converted into a house. The history was gathered by the current owner. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thank you, Anita and Barbara, for refreshing my memory. I thought that it was not the pizza shop, as I paid a small fortune for my copy of the book which is now inaccessible to me in my basement. There is a Potts listed in the sketch of the town and the store. He may have been a butcher in some small nitch of my memory. Maybe you can check on that for me, Anita. Anyway, it is delightful to hear about 'home'. Nancy S.

Wallace's meat market? William Wallace I think was a relative of mine. Macy(Mary) Wallace I believe was his wife? My grandfather Joseph Wallace Johnston was named after him. Anyone know any of these?
