Fred and everyone else who wanted to help with my posting, I am deeply sorry for not being able to type.. LOL (And I try looking over each mail before sending but sometimes some things get by me) It is 1937 (not 1837). My uncle has a LONG obit explaining his accident in the Mason County Journal (?) on October 26, 1937. I suspect that the business was either taken over by someone or was closed. Interesting about this too, my aunt sent me a copy of a picture she found with my uncle and grandfather taken in the Peerless Meat Market -- boy was things sure cheap back then.. LOL I have two pictures (I didn't realize this) but in one picture the back wall says Peerless Meat Market. The other picture says "Sell Carstens. U.S. Governemnt Inspected Meat Products -- T.F. Cheslock Prop." Both pictures has the same meat counter in it. Seems the store went under some renovations at one time, even the back wall behind the counter is different in both pictures. LOL.. one picture says "Credit Make's Enemies -- Let's Be Friends" How much of that holds true today? Thanks for everyone's help. Michelle michelleann@ameritech.net
