and was provided by Charles Webb & his mother Ruth Ann [Hughes]
Binkley.The time line is circa 1962. Arnett's operated a dry
goods store in the Square in the premises now [2008] owned by Tom Linton
[California]. Next door was the Marian Theatre, which immediately prior to
1962, was owned by Mr. & Mrs. Murray Forgy.
Next to the Marian Theatre,
on the right, is the Dollar Store. This is the location of Forgy's
Friendly Store up to 1961. In 2008 it was occupied by VanMeter & Son,
Auto Repair before their move to the west end of town.
