From "I Remember" by Mary Howell

I remember Mr. and Mrs. E. B. Smith who had a grocery store in what is called Beanville. I remember going to his store on Saturday nights to get a Dixie cup of ice cream. Several of Mr. E.B. children and grandchildren followed in their father's footsteps and became store owners. Duvergn CORDRAY, Shine Smith, Velma RASH and Alfred Smith all ran local mom and pop businesses.
