A historic country store in this region undergoes a fresh lease on life. Owner Harry C. Jones plans remodeling and space expansion to revive the original built structure as the store enters a new era of usefulness.
Mrs Etta Smith of Felicity died Sunday July 27 at her home after a stroke. She is survived by one son Parker Smith. Also noted are weekend visitors Miss Madge Cummins and friends from Cincinnati plus Mr and Mrs Charles Cummins and daughter from Cincinnati and Raymond Cummins and family from Feesburg. A severe electric and wind storm caused downed trees with no serious damage. Miss Margaret Ann Cummins has an infected tooth and Elmer King and family move to a new GI house this week. Mr and Mrs Bob White, former Felicity residents, visited relatives here over the weekend.
Land stocked by John and Harvey Anderson in 1868. The store operated continuously since that date with the Anderson family running it across generations. John died early. Harvey kept it until age and illness. Daughters and sons-in-law later took over, sustaining a varied stock that drew countywide trade. New owners abandoned the general store but kept a grocery. Harry Jones is mentioned in later ownership notes.
