about

Jim Bath describes Shawnee from memory, building by building, and moving from North to South along Main Street.

lyrics

Interviewer: What, uh, what did you do when you was a kid growing up that you had the most fun doing?

Jim: Well, I uh, told you. Playing basketball and shooting marbles and knocking the can and stuff like that.

Interviewer: What did you do on Saturday night as a teenager, growing up?

Jim: Uh, I used to like to get out, out on my grandmother’s and grandfather’s front porch, and watch the people go up and down Main Street.

Believe it or not, on a Saturday night, the people in town, the town was crowded. But then you had, uh, you had –– Senator’s was a restaurant. Then you come on down then you had, uh, Peyton’s had a Red and White store. You come on down and Yank Hartson had a store for various things.

Come on down to Eddie Welches, or Charles Welches, and he had a little bit of everything in that store. It was mainly, uh, mining supplies and feed. But he had a lot of other stuff in there, too. And if you went in there and asked for something, and he didn’t have it, he’d probably have it in there in the next week or two, like pottery, and different things like that.

Uh, but I would be up there on the front porch. The fire station was knocked down there. There was uh, Nicolas’ store. It was still standing, maybe. It might have fallen down by the time you get this printed, but right now it is still standing. And then you uh, there was another building in there, Daugherty’s. They had a music store in there at one time. And then when the bar across the street burned out, they moved the bar –– and the music store had been out of business for years ––they moved the bar in there. Uh, Hazel Matthews, that was before she bought the bank and moved everything up to the bank.

And then, the next building to us was the funeral home, and furniture store. Mainly funeral home and the furniture on the side. Sam Coin was the owner of it, and Doc Hill was the undertaker from, uh, Zanesville. He’s dead now. He came in to Shawnee and he met and married the Richards girl in Shawnee, here.

And uh, he uh, and then there was my grandfather’s two buildings. And then there was, uh, at one time, years ago, there was a real jewelry shop. It was in the other building that burnt, Dogherty’s side. Shore, Mrs. Shore had a jewelry store in there. Up there in Hannah’s building was a restaurant, and it was run by, uh, oh shoot, he’s from Hemlock, and Peyton’s...
