The
picture shows the central office
building. It was the telephone
service we had for several years
after
Bobby and I were married.
A
switchboard where an operator plugged
into the caller and another plug
into the receiver. Early on
there
was no telephone service at night
nor week ends. Usually the
operator lived in the back.
This
is also the building where Kool-Aid
was invented by a man named Perkins.
The
store was on the other side of the
street. To the left of the
building and on the other end of
the block
was where we lived when we came
back from Colo.
Grandma
and Grandpa lived across the street
east. The barn in the background
was not there when we
lived there.
