The Country Store Editor Remembered in Athens County
A nostalgic reminiscence of a rural store across from the Chase farm in Athens County. Frank Carbaugh owned it, with the Chase school and Baptist church nearby. The shop housed a post office, a center counter, glass candy jars, dry goods, farm tools, home remedies, and a bold banner proclaiming In God We Trust All Others Cash. The author recalls trade, scents, and small-town social life, cherishing memories of a disappearing country store.
