ing. other grocers and merchants
in other lines~o OF business had been
casting rather longing eyes on the

opened his first grocery store in the
late SOS on Water street just south

cupied that site then was burned
in 1890 and shortly afterwards a new
Opera House block was erected. Mr..

stayed there until the fire of 1896
when he was burned out. After re-
pairs had been made, he returned to
the same location and stayed there
