Sorry to have to tell you this, but I was shocked when I took my newspapers and cans down to the recycling bins to find them full and running over. I never saw so many milk jugs heaped up outside of the bins and bottles all over the place. We are to have all these things in trash bags and tied shut. One day, a big sack of pop cans fell over and they were all rolling down the

building in town, built sometime in the 1800 s that use to be a general store and a schoolhouse upstairs? I’m sure some of you readers attended school upstairs. Many businesses have occupied that building that is now being occupied by the Bortz Feed Company. This building has a long history going way back when Jacob and Cyrena Rupel sold the property to David Reese, Gunder G. William and Henry Reamer on April 8, 1854. Norman Miller’s dry goods, notions, hardware and queens wear store started in 1854. Miller later sold to William Whitmer. From 1908 to 19131 he Pearse brother operated a dry goods store, then the Pearses built the building where Craft’s Drug Store is today back in 1913. Luvina Moak opened a drug store on August 9, 1913. Mrs. Minnie Dolby Weisenbaugh of Walkerton was the pharmacist for many years. It was in operation from 1913 to 1941. Then the building was again sold to Travis Pearse who operated a store from 1941 to 1945. Then brothers Walter and Fred Day operated a meat market and grocery store from July 9, 1945 to January 4, 1946 followed by Charles and Ethel Guyse who operated a restaurant from January 4, 1946 to January 9, 1956. Then Norman and Iva Sponseler operated the restaurant from that date till May 21, 1960 when Zed and Ruby Miller purchased it and was operated by their son-in-law, Gene and Carol Carbiener. Then in May, 1991, G.T. Properties purchased it, redecorated it and rented it to Success Realty for about three years. They moved out and now Bortz Feed Store has moved in, so this store building has quite a history as you can see. Marian Fouts attended the birthday dinner on Sunday at the home of her daughter, Arlene McCan, of Plymouth, for her husband, Roger McCan. grandson Shawn McCan, age ten. and Roger Kelly, of LaPaz.
