Creditor Seeks Balance from Sixty Year Old Stranger
An elderly, well-to-do man visited a St. Peter Street grocery in search of a debtor from around 1836. He claimed to have money owed for “shiva” items and described the man’s former store above it, but the payer could not locate him. The scene blends a local tale with old time street recollections and a quip about stick candy production.
