In the Morris Chronicle of 13 April 1898, A.S. Avery wrote: “Later, the old red store was moved down Broad street, and was used as a tin shop by Church & Briggs and afterwards by Jackson & Briggs. It has been in many hands since then in 1868 was used as a dry goods store by Beekman & Ward, and is now [1898] owned and occupied by Seymour and Frank Isbell.”

John H. Elliott, called "Uncle Jack" (so as not to confuse him with John T. Elliott or his son of same name), a teamster, noted horse trainer and horse doctor, and plowed the village streets and sidewalks after William Churchill, and before Frank took over plowing the street and George the sidewalks with a single horse (that plow now on display at the fairgrounds). That was a pretty good snow storm.

I will try to get a better photograph later this year, but this color photograph shows the that sign was multi-color.
