The Humbert store
This is a picture of Mr. and Mrs. Humbert's store. The store has been around for many years ( I could not get the exact year that it opened ). The store was known for their trading with the local farmers. At the time that the store opened the number one way to earn money was by running a family farm. Farmers would bring in milk, eggs, livestock, or anything else that they had and traded the Humbert's for credit at the store. The store also purchased black walnuts and hulled them out back. One of the men that I interviewed worked hulling the nuts at the store for a couple years. One thing can be said for the Humbert's that is that there is not anything negative to say about them. The store remained in the Humbert family until it closed its doors for good several years ago.
