MILTONSBURG GENERAL STORE
MILTONSBURG GENERAL STORE –
at the time this photo was taken it was known as the Hinderlong Store
We
are fortunate to have several pictures of this Miltonsburg store on this web
site. The original of this photo taken in
the early 1900s is a rare photograph in that the image is printed on a silk
cloth or screen. The details of how
this was done are no longer known. This
building, which is still standing, is located on Lot # 10 in the center of
Miltonsburg. Over the decades it was
owned and/or operated by the following individuals. The chronological order of
the owners is about right although, except as shown, dates are not available.

Vance Slusher

Edward Young (about 1915)
Charles Hinderlong
Homer Landefeld

Roman and Hazel Reischman
