![]() ![]() About the same time the cafe burned and the men spent nights rebuilding the cafe next to Kellers Bar. That August my brother Dale was stricken with Polio. My parents Hilding and Hazel Carlson lived in a small house known at the time as the Simon house and now as Janice and John Hagers. This has been a delight to read the comments and see the names that were so important to me. So much for technology in our neck of the woods. I believe Bronald (sp?) Thompson ran the elevator for years, others before him – can’t recall the name of the guy who was in the south elevator for a long time…no, not Buckskin! Seeing color TV for the first time at the barbershop was disappointing – they (who was the barber?) just bought a screen cover that was coated in three colored stripes that went over the screen – same old snowy picture with dumb colored stripes laid over. And I believe Jens Nielsen might have butchered cattle in the small building behind Sullivan’s grocery, but seems like it might have been someone else – just remember going in to watch the action. Jim and Edith Wallace’s dad and Lawrence Keller worked on the railroad section crew, can’t remember who else but remember the cream cans sitting on the rail station platform early in the morning waiting to ship out on the train, very early in my life. Ever and Alta Hanson ran the telephone office at one time, if I recall correctly – Alta, actually.
