More than likely my brother would have been hanging out there in the 50's -
I was in grade school. The mid-later 60's were my Oxford Cafe days and yes
I do remember the Blevins running the cafe. I was trying to remember there
was a son with a nickname "Squire" or something like that. They called one
of my cousins "Spud" and one "Doc" and others I forget, but my cousin
Katharine Webb who now lives in Calico was my running partner. We loved
walking or getting a ride and going to Oxford and getting a coke or Dr.
Pepper for her.......we were the wild ones......Do you remember Remmel
Rowden? He ran one of the grocery stores, Ballard's the other - when we
moved to Oklahoma and would need to call and get in touch with some of the
Taylor's (Granddad Gordie), for deaths, sickness, or such, we would call the
phone booth in Oxford by the Cafe and Remmel would mostly answer it or
whoever did, would go tell Remmel and he would go out to Granddad's and get
them to come call us or just deliver the message needed. Remmel and Dad
were cousins if I remember right on my Grandma Taylor's (Green) side of the
family. I had a lot of fun in Oxford.
