Dr. Ernest Kelly, Ernest Jr., and George and probably my mother in the background; this picture is dated 1946. I am guessing that Mr. Roy's store was new and maybe not even opened yet. Didn't Doc Smith build the stores and open one next to Mr. Roy's which was operated for a while by Leighton Gray or some name similar to that.
For some reason, I always thought the stores opened in 1947.
I have vivid memories of the felling of the trees on that lot; I thought they were going to fall on our house; I also remember several of us playing on the bull dozer parked there over the weekend when they were clearing the lot.
