During my search I have come across your Hemlock history of a booming general store and Post Office. My grandparents owned and lived in the home behind the store during the 80s & 90s. they were Murl and Lydia Tenney. Their move was from only a mile or so away. (old Tenney homestead past the Carpenter school) I recall mention of the available indoor plumbing being a big motive deciding to move. Also, for some strange reason they must of thought that they wouldnt be as snowed in!! The store was eventually torn down. I have been told That the previous owners were Nuzum Garlow, and first originally owned by Eli Zickefoose. Would you happen to have any information on this once thriving business. Also wondering what the story is of this beautiful winter picture. Thank You Dave for any information you may have.
