Moore Richard
& Margie (Beaver) Thompson * There is some confusion surrounding this building. John Lynn and Clair Grove both say it was Haffley’s Tin Shop and that Edith Grubb rented it,
followed by Paul & Doris (Wentz) Norris who lived there last. However, Jean Bookwalter says Edith rented
above the store, and that she remembers Gail Forshey and then an old lady
living there. The three names above
were provided by the late Clair Hetrick. |
