New Woolwich Store to Open July 20
J Vinal Hunnewell, a general merchant and acting postmaster, prepares a new 24 by 53 foot single story building at the junction of old and new No 1 highway in Woolwich. The I G A system will identify the store upon opening, with occupancy expected July 20. The Sagadahoc Ferry general store, run by Harvey P Hathorne for 45 years, was sold May 1, and Hathorne retired January 31 after reaching the age limit. Hunnewell has acted as postmaster since then, awaiting permanent appointment delayed by the postmaster age-limit law and commission backlog.
