You did miss on a few of these and seem to have forgotten a few.  Perkins had a lumber yard that burned down in the late sixties before Cookson built his electric shop on the same site.  The building that is beside the post office was orginally a ford tractor dealership and was used by my father as a shop for his sawmill and logging business in the mid to late sixties. Dont know who had the building after that but I remember the cable tv company using it as and office in the seventies.  Elwood Miller had a plumbing shop in a biulding back of his house north of Kennith Smiths house.  Where the Cox biulding is now was a blacksmith shop, dont know what the owners name was but I know that"s where Jerry Harrod got his start. Across the street to the north of the Cox gas startion was a feed store, dont know who owned that.  That is the current site of the one room school.  The gas station across from the court house was owned by a man named JIm but I dont know his last name and mom cant remmeber either. He sold that to Kennedy in the early seventies if I remember correctly.  Grey's Greenhouse located east of the fairgrounds on the south side of the road, dont know what ever happened to that.  And how could you forget that not only did we have a railroad with a real Santa Fe depot but also a Ford car dealership located across from the court house.  After the the dealership closed Pat Crigar and another man, the same guy that bought Perkins hardware, had a mechanics shop for a few years.  O yeah, dont forget the motel on the highway to the south of Harding's (JIm Stangs place) gas station.  Anyway thats all I can remmeber off the top of my head this morning.  Happy Thanksgiving to all.
