Clover Farm Store

Thanks to Cheryll Black Obendorf for the shot above.  She tells me it's the C.N. Black & Sons Clover Farm Store in Glencoe, ca 1940. "My grandfather, Charles Newton Black, and his sons, Charles Cecil (my dad) and Marvin Lee, were the proprietors. They also ran a huckster route throughout Gallatin County."

Raymond Lewis' history of the Glencoe Christian Church is here.

“Glencoe has had her third fire in little over a year.  This time, burning over half the town; to wit, Dr. Foster’s residence, Mr. Noel’s tobacco barn and out buildings, Thomas Stewart’s residence, and Al Kemper’s stable.  The total losses amount to $8,000, with insurance covering $2500.”  From the Owenton Democrat, November 11, 1886.
