Joyce,

I will add some additional information to what you have
given to the Shoe Repair Shop in Oxford.

In those days the Shoe Shop was the local hangout for the
young kinds in the community. Rarely did one go to town
(Oxford) without stopping in to visit with Uncle Marion and
Aunt Maude as we called them. Aunt Maude always had a piece
of Candy or something she would give to us.

Uncle Marion and Aunt Maude lived in the step-down part of
their shoe shop. The building that housed this shoe shop
still stands today in Oxford. It is on the northwest
corner of Highway in Oxford, and the Oxford Garage was (is)
located next door to the shoe shop on the north side of the
shoe shop.
