(47) Middle of 200 block of Main Street, east side (southerly part)

"A billiard parlor, a plumbing shop and the Hoover Motorcycle Shop were businesses along the street. When the buildings were razed, Vernon Traeger built a sheet metal shop on the alley."

(48) 231 – 235 Main Street

"Lawrence Traeger's building was the next structure. He lived upstairs above his saloon. These rooms have always been used as a saloon. A small building north of the saloon has always been a lunch room. Some of the owners have been Mrs. Mitchell and her son, Harry, Rufle Lautzenhizer, Kenny and Emma Keilman and Elmer Kittredge. Eva Theodoras now runs G&E Lunch (231 Main St.)."
