SHOE REPAIR SHOP

By: Stan Jordan

This little two room building sat on the southwest corner of West Daggett and South Main Street, right out there by the road in what is now the parking lot for the dentist office.

This picture was taken sometime after 1931, you can see the water hydrant.

The shoe cobbler was Joe Barbier Jr., born in 1886 and died in 1955. He is buried in Wiltsie Cemetery with his parents. His father was a Civil War veteran.  

See ya!
