From the
Editor
It’s been an interesting
week for us. As you may have seen if
you’re a FB friend of mine, I’ve definitely had a rough week with my knee. This all started about 3 to 4 months ago with
the apparent twist of my left knee. I’d
had a similar issue some 7 years ago, but a cortisone shot in the knee put me
back into commission. We tried the same
treatment on May 30th with our 30 year Orthopedist who has treated a
majority of those in our family with fantastic success. At the time he gave me the shot he told me
what he thought was wrong, but thought the cortisone was worth a “shot” to see
if it helped--and it did--but didn’t provide the level comfort that I hope to
have the rest of my life. So, at this
point I again followed what he lined out as step 2 and 3--an x-ray of the knee
followed by an MRI. Here comes the
“rub.” At the time we did the MRI, he
left on vacation. Now, I don’t need to
go into detail on what a top notch surgeon being out of the office does to his already
jammed schedule. Shortly after the
contortions I had to go through for the x-ray, my pain level started to
increase dramatically and by last Thursday I was in such pain that walking was
almost out of the question. So, Thursday
evening, Carolyn went out to get me a walker (which is the only reason I’m
getting around at all). My original
plans were to “get by” until winter to have surgery if that was the fix. My scheduling was being based on our plans to
make an extended road trip in the RV ending up in
By last Friday, the pain had
reached such a level that I was convinced I couldn’t live with it so made a
call to the doctor’s office to see if there was some way I could get some pain
medication. Fortunately, I thought I was
on the road to relief when they were able to get me a prescription for
Vicodin--WRONG! It did NOTHING! No relief.
So I tried ice packs, Aleve, and Tylenol but NOTHING helped. With the leg elevated, I was fairly
comfortable. With the least bit of
walking, I was back to severe pain. However,
what I did find out talking to the doctor’s office was that the MRI showed that
I had a torn medial meniscus and floating cartilage in my knee joint--just what
the doctor thought. Minimal fix is most
likely arthroscopic surgery. However,
that is my diagnosis since the doctor just returned to the office on Monday, is
in surgery today (Tuesday), and will most likely not look at my MRI results
until I see him on Wednesday around noon.
I have found that currently unless he has a cancellation he is booked
for surgery through the end of August.
Yuck!
Now, if you’re still reading
this, you’ve most likely decided that this is just my “personal pity
party.” Well not really. Although I’m so frustrated with the pain and
the fact that I can’t get it all fixed right NOW. It brings to my attention that even though my
activities are very limited and it will most likely be weeks rather than days
until I can get relief. THIS CONDITION
IS JUST TEMPORARY for me and there are others who will have similar levels of
pain the rest of their lives and many of our brave soldiers who don’t even have
knees to give them pain. This should be
a time to reflect and recognize what I have or more importantly life
threatening diseases that I don’t have that many of our friends do or have
already succumbed to.
God I pray that you will
give me patience with this situation (especially with Carolyn since she has
become my legs) and give me the presence of mind to recognize what this really
is--just a minor inconvenience as I begin to traverse life’s journey into the “Golden
Years.”

Editor’s note: As we go to “press,” we now know that Mike
will have surgery next Wednesday, August 21.
Hopefully, this will give him relief from the pain. It should also give him time to heal so that
we can make the Roosevelt Alumni Reunion as we have planned to. We just will have to change plans and not spend
the month of September RVing back to

assassination of President John F. Kennedy. And we’d love to know what
was happening in
Ruby Jane Richard Brown
Harold Gibson wrote to us
about the passing of his classmate from the HHS class of 1939, the incomparable
Ruby Jane: “We had been friends for 87 years.”
Think about that!
Ruby Jane and Marie Ellis
were my Cub Scout den mothers in fifth grade. Her brother, Dobie, was a
regular at the Gaines Drug coffee table when I lived in
Bonus Questions!
Bonus Question 1: How
did the north-south streets west of Broadway get their names?
Bonus Question 2:
After Hubbard Grocery, a store named Sparks Grocery was on that site across the
street from
Bonus Question 3: What
was the name of the Mexican restaurant at the southwest corner of Eastern and
Iris? And who ran it?
What We Learned Last Time about neighborhood grocery
stores:
Wow, we received a bunch of
responses. In 20-20 hindsight, we should have divided this into two
categories: downtown stores (between the tracks and
Anyway, many of you had
great memories of these suburb an “little stores.” Some folks also
mentioned stores in the downtown area, which may not officially count as
neighborhood stores, but have interesting histories nonetheless. So we
will include them below. Here goes:
Trentham’s,
This was my first “little
store” when we lived at 527 West North Boundary (now Iris.) I thought I
was really important when my mother let me walk the three blocks over to
Trentham’s, which was on the north side of
Jim Trentham bought the
Suburban Grocery (216 S. Bailey) in 1955 and moved it to the
Jon Carder, another
neighborhood kid (he lived at First and Randlett) remembers that this store was
called "Little Jim's Suburban Grocery Store" and that
Jim Webber: I went
there often when I lived on Hitchcock until I was eight. Later, I assumed Steve Casida's paper route
for the Democrat Chief. I covered all of
Bailey and Hitchcock, including the new addition west of
Karen Gayle Young: I
lived at Third and Park Road and the Farrand girls and I used to ride our bikes
to a little store closer to Iris, don't remember street but past Stevens before
Randlett! Bought lots of penny candy
there! I'd have to drive up to
Jon Resneder and I share one
memory of Trentham’s: they had a gumball machine with a few spotted
gumballs inside. The gum cost a penny; if you got a spotted ball you got
a nickel candy bar. We both invested many pennies to win those nickel
candy bars.
Diedra Watson Brown:
Cecil and Alice Owens operated it for a while in the mid-60s. Mrs. Owens was my Dad’s mom, and Grandpa
Cecil was my Dad’s step-father. He was a
tall, lanky Texan who came in and swept her off her little bitty feet.
Before they met, she cooked at a restaurant on
Mike Smith: Jim ran
the store with the help of his son (I think we called him Jimbo) and
daughter. (Note from Bill: I called him “Jim Boy.” Later, he
became “Jimba.”) We referred to it as the “Little Store;” not sure what
the actual name was. (Another note from Bill: we also referred to
it as the “Little Store.”) I remember my Mother telling me we needed a
loaf of bread, or quart of milk and I’d time myself running up the alley to the
store and back. I think it took about 5 minutes. I also remember
how good a cold RC Cola tasted from the Little Store after mowing the yard on a
hot summer day. An RC set me back a nickel.
This store went out of
business in about 1965. The building is still there; it was remodeled
into a residence.
Medley’s Store on B Street across the street south
from Frances Willard
The store was there in the
1930s. Mrs. Todd Medley ran it. Later she operated a store downtown
at 316
Peet’s Grocery,
This was a
D. J. Peet sold the grocery
store (he kept the service station) to Orbie and Irene Dark in September,
1965. Orbie ran it until he retired in November of 1980.
Mary Anne Griffin
Johnson: When we were really young, before driving age, several of us
(who shall remain nameless) would smoke a cigarette until our stomachs turned
green, and walk from Alice Foote’s to Peet’s grocery. What a blast.
I have no idea what we bought there. I guess it was the challenge.
What a wonderful free, harmless, fearless childhood. We were so
"crazy". I have been gone, really, since I was a junior in high
school, but I love thinking about the most wonderful place to grow up—
Clay’s Store at northwest corner of Randlett and Iris
(West North Boundary at the time.)
Joe Hancock told us that the
store was in a room on the northwest corner of the Clay residence. It
operated in the 1930s.
Porter Harris’s Store, 216 East Seventh; south side
of
Porter Harris had operated a
store downtown in the 1920s. We’re not certain when he opened the
suburban store, but it was still operating in the 1950s.
Joe Lyde: My favorite
was Porter's Store. My grandpa would take my brother and me there when we
were kids.
Kay Hubbard Senter:
Porter Harris's store was around the corner from my grandmother's house. It was a good place to buy banana popsicles
on a hot summer day. Porter and Mattie Harris lived in a two-story house
on the corner of Monroe and Seventh Streets. The store was behind their
house on the alley.
I love small neighborhood
grocery stores. I look for them in small
towns and stop when I find one. They are hard to find now because it’s
hard to find vendors who want to sell small quantities of things. That was beginning to happen to my parents in
the 1970s.
Marilyn Winfrey
Thrift: I remember Porter's! I
went to Eugene Field in the first grade and would pass by there. They used to sell little candy "grab
bags." They were small brown paper
bags, stapled shut, and filled with assorted penny candy! Guess I'm a "gambler" at heart
‘cause I LOVED those bags! Such
anticipation!
Burna Cole also remembered
Porter’s, which she believes was still there as late as 1956.
Jerry Wilson: Porter
Harris sold milk, bread and penny candy and had bologna on a big stick that he
would slice off for you. The pop machine
was on the front step.
Ward’s Home Grocery, 103 N. Hitchcock
Donna Northcutt remembers
it: There was a little grocery store on
Patricia Adams Holliday also
remembers this one.
Wolf Grocery and Station, 108 West 11th
In 1936, Major Wolfe
purchased the old Hunter Truck Line office building and opened a grocery and
station in 19??. Wolfe had formerly operated the Conoco station at Third
and
Moore’s Station and Grocery, southwest corner of
Eastern and Iris
Everett Moore and his wife,
Dorothy, ran this small, fragrant place from 1958 until 1972. (Note from
Bill: I delivered papers there and struggled not to spend all my profit
on candy.)
Joe Hancock remembers this
as the “Poor Boy Station” earlier. We don’t know who operated it
then.
Later there was a Mexican
restaurant on the site; what was its name?
Marlon Onco: That lil’
place was stocked with grocery items.
Mr. Moore was a nice old guy, we'd go in there and chat to him as
kids. I remember my brother Eldridge
would give me and my other brother a quarter apiece, before heading to work at
JC Penny, and we'd go there and get a bottle of pop (RC), :).
Ray Cragar: Always
cold pop in the cooler, sure tasted good with a peanut patty.
Stopped there on my paper route nearly every day. Kind of a gruff old
man, as I recall, but I guess it didn't stop me from going back….usually
several loafers hanging around.
Jim Webber and others also
remember
Name Withheld to Protect the
Mischevious: When I was 14 or 15 years old (no driver’s license), my dad
would send me to that store with a note and I would go home with a quart of Jax
beer for him.
We don’t know who operated
this store, but it was in existence in the late 1940s.
Richard Chase: When I
was back in
Darla Bynum also remembers
this one; it was still in existence in 1949.
“The building is still there, as Quintero’s shed. Between Randlett
and Lowe.”
Hensley’s, 216 South Bailey (the store on this site
was also known as Mama’s Food Store, then Suburban Grocery)
This store has a fascinating
history. It was
In the spring of 1925, T. B.
Tennison (or “Tenison”) built the frame building at this site and opened the
Ideal Cash Grocery. A year later, Ernest Hunter assumed control of the
business and named it “Hunter’s Ideal Cash Grocery.” We don’t know why,
but Hunter didn’t last long, either. Hubert “Homer” Hensley took over in
April, 1927.
Hensley had plenty of
experience. He had opened a grocery and market in
Storie-Morton department
store wanted the building, and so Hensley was on the move again. This
time he chose
The newly named Suburban
Grocery was a big hit with neighborhood kids—and their mothers—as you will read
below.
Hensley sold the store to
the Kouri family; Lee Kouri had previously operated a grocery on the north side
of
Gloria Fiorello: The
store was next door to Thetis and Place Montgomery and was previously
owned by Herbert Hensley, Julia Hensley Ashcroff's father. He died in
1946 and think that is when Kouri bought the store.....then later he sold it to
Thetis and Place who made a little home out of it for Thetis's father Luther
Curreathers
Bobby Stubbs agreed:
“Edwin McNutt, Class of '57 verified that the original Mama's Food Store was
indeed located on
I don't know if the Kouris lived in the house/store or not. It was
remarkable that they had the foresight and I guess we now call marketing
skills, to place all the ‘penny’ candies on lower racks so the really young
candy-addicted youth of
I did a search on Lucy Kouri and found Kouri family records from the 1940
Census. "Lee" is listed as Lie. There is a list of names
but I only recognized Lucy and Mama's, which I believe is Anna. Edwin
told me the Kouri family was of Lebanese descent; however, their records have
them recorded as American and English as their language. That is great
because they were indeed an integral part of the community and their store
became more of less an icon in
Mary Anne
Also, I went with Mary Ann
Newcomer and Joyce Huddleston near Frances Willard (to Mama’s Food Store)
although I don't remember buying anything.
John D. Montgomery:
Our rent house was basically a block south of Hensley's store. We had a charge account there but I didn't
know it. One thing that really stands
out in my mind is the old-time Coke dispenser.
You had to slide the bottle of pop around in the cooler to finally pull
it out at the end of the maze. We could
easily walk there.
Munz’s Grocery, 200 block of South Hitchcock
Jim Harris: Joe and I
often went to a little store over around the 200 block South on Lowe. In
the summer time we would walk over there bare footed and I remember the hot
sidewalks, streets, and goat-heads. A
fellow named Munz ran the store with his wife, can't remember her name
now. She was always made up fit to kill
with a big ribbon in her hair that covered both ears. Years later
when I was working as a Park Ranger at
David Northcutt also
remembers this place, but thinks the owner’s name may have been
Can anyone provide more
info?
Beep and Peep (previously Toot ‘n Tell), southeast
corner of Broadway and Iris
To put it simply, EVERYBODY
in
The Toot ‘n’ Tell opened on
this site in 1962. As far as we know, it was
There were two stores for a
while: the one on Broadway and another
on the northwest corner of Highway 9 and
The Beep and Peep operated
for 13 years, until October 7, 1977, when it closed. It re-opened shortly thereafter as Means’
Short Stop. Oral Means continued operating it until about 1982.
On that note, I would like
to take this opportunity to say what a fine man I believe Coy Wilson was. My dad would never have been able to come up
with the money to buy that store on his limited resources. Coy and Virgil made that possible for him and
I'm so grateful. Daddy worked hard all
his life to support a big brood and he never had a whole lot to show for
it. Those 2 men made a big difference in
his life.
Virgil was a banker from
I remember when my younger
siblings and I were still at home and in school, my mother called my dad at the
store about every other day to tell him to bring home more bread and milk.
I moved back to
We had one of those old
horizontal soda pop coolers that kept the bottles ice cold and I remember
filing that box a gazillion times, then breaking down the pop and beer boxes to
go in the garbage. We sold a lot of beer on weekends, and there were
times when a lot of drama was involved. (Sometimes you just don’t need to
know everything you have to know about your neighbors.)
We had one weekend customer
who always showed up after I had closed the store and was in the back room
balancing the cash drawer. He would pull up to the window and honk his
horn until I had to go see what he wanted. Of course, I already knew who
it was and that he wanted more beer. A few times I waited him out to see
if he would just give up and go away, but he knew the horn would get me up
there sooner or later and he could charm me into opening my drawer back up and
selling him another six-pack. I never could figure out why he didn’t just
come get that last six-pack before we closed.
The last time I was in
Jim Perry: Oral Means
let us walk out without paying full prices.
Maybe he knew I was in love with his youngest daughter, Sheila (proper
spelling, me thinks.)
Dark’s Grocery, adjacent to Peet’s Station on the
west side of
Orbie Dark owned this
place. He bought the grocery side of Peet’s station in 1965 and operated
it until he retired in 1980.
Terri Dark Hunter:
Orbie is my uncle, and yes he owned it.
He passed away about three years ago.
He was a sweetheart. My parents
are Howard and Otha Dark; sisters Shirley and Sharon; and brother Jimmie. They all moved from
Pam Bodenstein: I
would buy candy and soda pop there. Memories!
Hunter Park Store, north side of
This store was opened in
about 1947 by
Kids who went to the park
loved visiting this store. They sold pop, snacks, popsicles and bait—in
short, everything a child needs.
Saralou
I can't believe that I have
absolutely no recollection of the monkeys at the park, although I do recall
trying to catch the crawdads near the pits that must have been the old fish
ponds.
Anna Smith and others also
remember it.
Mary Anne Griffin Johnson
reported that she frequented this store. They had bologna spread which
was a real luxury. Mother called it ham salad.
Virgil Brian: I rank a
lot of strawberry Nehi from that bait shack at Hunter Park.
Richard Chase: I
remember buying bait shrimp from that little store for fishing.
Butch Barker: When I
was there they would call him Big Butch and me Little Butch.
B&B Grocery, southwest corner of
A couple months ago, we
reported on the B&B. Burl and Boo Stephenson owned and operated it.
Mary Anne
Cissy Brigham Nuanes:
They served the best baloney sandwiches.
We would cross the street and get a sandwich at lunch. The bread was
always so fresh. A great cheap and fast
lunch.
John D. Montgomery: We
went to B&B Grocery a lot after we moved to the 101 E. Dogwood
location. Missy and I were allowed to
ride our bicycles to Iris. We'd park
them on the north side of Iris in front of the old high school, then walk
across to make our purchases. I remember
the great butcher shop there and Boo and Burl.
When I was in junior high I
would write a .50 cent check on an over-the-counter check there so I could play
pin ball at lunch.

More on Hubbard Grocery
This week I stumbled onto a
Democrat-Chief column about the late Bill “Mud” Hubbard, son of George and
Margaret. His parents had operated Hubbard’s Café on the south side of
Bill, who was a great guy,
had told me a little bit about Hubbard Grocery: “When they bought the
store, they decided to keep it open on Sundays. It was a good move
because the big stores did not open on Sunday. Mother taught her
kindergarten Sunday School class at the First Christian Church; I think she did
that for about 30 years, maybe more.
“Dad would run the store in
the morning on Sunday. They would close the store around 1 p.m. and go to
my grandparents’ home for lunch and would open the store again at 5 p.m.
“The rest of the week, the
store was open from 7 a.m. until 9 p.m. and they would take turns staying in
the store and doing the daily work such as filling the pop case, stocking
shelves, ordering groceries and supplies, sorting and putting empty pop bottles
in their cases, cleaning, bookwork, etc.
“They both employed their
lives in the little store and the home behind the store.”
Bill Watkins: I don't remember buying much candy. I
spent most of my allowance on marbles, not for myself but for a certain girl
that was in my class. For some reason, she collected marbles.
Another guy at Eugene Field liked her also, so we tried to outdo each other
every week to see who could buy her the most marbles. Neither one of us
realized much of a return on our investment.
Stillwell Girls
Jim Barnes: “Actually,
there were two Stillwell daughters: Margaret and Hermione (who went by the
Margaret worked as
a secretary for Public Service; I never could figure out what Hermione did. But all three of them were real
characters–––great neighbors and funny as they could be. I used to "hang out" over there
because they stuffed me full of cookies while teaching me how
to solve crossword puzzles.
The Stillwells did the best Halloween
ever. They had a little tool shed out
back where Margaret dressed up like a witch and had a big caldron of
something that put off a lot of smoke.
Ma made popcorn balls for all the kids–––the best popcorn balls ever.
As I recall, Margaret got a
job in
Random Great Memories from Bill Watkins, HHS class of
1952
First Grade: Since I
lived north of town when I started the first grade, I went to Francis
Willard. However, the new building wasn't completed yet so the first
grade started in the
Senior Year: Donald
Jess Chapman and I climbed the new water tower and painted Seniors '52 on it
with a powder puff since we had John Deere paint but no brush. When we
got back on the ground, the letters were so small that you couldn't read it so
we went back up with a decent brush and did it over.

huge blue background and then went back up on another night and painted
