North 110 S. Main

1930's - ? Sandwich Shop 1930's Thelma & Bob Hodges

This may be the wrong location - but taking a hunch and that there was not to many eating establishments on Main Street back then -

Thelma Lilly (Hodges) Moorehead says her parents ran it for 2-3 years or a little longer that they opened it up after their marriage in 1930 .

Bob ran the register, Thelma done the cooking and dish washing.

One day she had to run it for while in the early morning by herself & when one of the men paid he said "Thank you madam, this good meal" - "madam" then was a woman who had a house of ill repute and Thelma took offense - when Bob came in she told him of the incident and he done nothing about as a result Thelma took off her apron put it on the counter and walked out.

Bob was not going to wash dishes and leave the his job behind the cash register - thus ended the sandwich shop.

19?- The Grill

Al Graham, with The Maxinkuckee Inn for many years, has purchased The Grill from Mrs. Frank Timmons.

South - 112 Main

Note the Baber pole on the south side of the building - could there have been 2 barber shops in the same building - references made was to it being in the basement of the building.
