Interesting Item
In 1884 Morris Bennett owned a drug and jewelry store on what is now 612 Main, the present site of the American Legion. Ward & Frieburg owned a drug store two doors to the north at what is now part of Wild Roots.
Sometime before 1882, Bennett purchased the building on the corner of this block, the present site of Leo's.
Ward & Frieburg had purchased a building across the street at 613 Main, the present site of State Farm Insurance. Ward & Frieburg sold this building to the Crain Brothers in 1892.
Bennett sold his business to Peasley in 1899 and it became known as Peasley's Corner Drug. In 1901 Peasley sold the building to the Crain Brothers but retained the inventory. Peasley sold the inventory in 1904 to Sabin who opened a store at another location.
Crain Brothers sold the business to Warne & Schwartz in 1906. Crain Brothers also had an express agency that met the trains then proceeded to deliver the freight around town.
