...a lot of customers would walk across Corunna Road from Kelly Airfield located south of the gas station....
....Wenns sold the store in 1933

Dad And Grandma At The Store Entrance

The note that was added indicated that there is still a gas station there.  Well, yes, but in the interim my grandmother's store (attached to the family home) was at that location. During the 1960's (and probably most of the 1950's) there were no gas pumps and the storefront was vacated (it made an awesome playroom for us), but the house was still intact.  Some time after my grandfather's death, my grandmother sold the property to a gas company.  It was then that the house was bulldozed and a new gas station was built.  A car dealership is currently across the street (a field of corn was there during my childhood).
