general store with Its pillars and front Just when the store was built Is not clear but it was before it was established as a post office that year the same year Ihc name or the village was changed from Williamsburg to Glen Williams The first post master was named Watkins Andrew Wheeler bought It in IBS and really sold everything groceries clothing wheelbarr and shovels farm machinery carriages vinegar oil and even patent medicines The building is made of two foot square hand hewn beams one which runs the whole length of the building and hand made brick with walls 13 inches thick ThepJncnascuton top of he hill in the Glen then slid down the hill into the river where It floated down to the saw mill located where the hall diamond is now Where the present picture window is now In the apartment upstairs was the spot the rope and pulley hauled carriages and harrows up to the upstairs store where the big items were kept Man lively tales are told of the store as a hub of the area Before elections the store was the place for arguments that waxed fairly violent When things became too hot for comfort the storekeeper would drop a piece of limburger cheese on the pot bellied stove causing a quick evacuation The present owner Mrs Nan Wheeler soya this story must be true since she lias heard It from many sources Another oft told talc is the one of Mrs Andrew Wheeler getting rid of her customers who sat on Ihc mahogany counters which the full length of the store lampshung and the holes for the l tradition not by shuttering the She went up and down the shutters around the windows are windows but by turning out the counter with a hat pin still then It was customary to lights when funeral passes The TRADITION shutter windows each night original lock is still on the back
