By Carol Reeves Shaul I personally am not old enough to remember going to the Ozark, KY store/post office at the corner of Hwy 80 and Wilson Keene Road, but I do know there was a store there, and also a post office. The Montgomerys ran the store, not sure who the postmaster was. Maybe Mr. Josh Montgomery? Maybe someone that reads this could tell us. What I wouldn't give to talk to my Dad, Banty Reeves. He could tell us all about it, and I promise, you would be entertained in the telling! The Reeves' carried the mail on horseback I know that my Dad - Banty - and his father, R.B. Reeves, carried the mail on horseback at one time. At any rate, I spoke with Barbara Reynolds Grider. She told me that her brother, R.J. was always late to school, because he would go to that store every morning to hear the latest talk and catch up on things!! Some things never change, huh? Mr. Will Reynolds store was on today's Grider land Now, there was another store, probably operated from 1920 until it burned in 1930, that was owned and operated by Mr. Will Reynolds. His store was just up a little ways from the Montgomery store - very close to where Barbara Reynolds Grider's barn is now, on the same side of Hwy. 80. Barbara told me that her father's store carried a lot of things. Her father was W. T. Reynolds, known affectionately to us Reeves kids as "Mr. Will." "I got it at W.T. Reynold's-nuff said" Mr. Will had a slogan for his store - "I got it at W. T. Reynolds- nuff said." He was a dealer in dry goods, notions, groceries and country produce. Barbara said that you could order suits of clothes, and just about anything else you wanted from him - he had catalogs. She has now framed ads from some of those caralogs. The country store I remember most, was Mr. Frank Rigney's store. The one year that I went to the one room schoolhouse, there on Hwy. 80, I remember Betty Jo Rigney riding her bicycle to his store at noon and bringing back cokes in the little green bottles for the ones who had a nickel. Frank was her Grandfather. More later on Youngs Mill. Oh, and through ColumbiaMagazine.com, I have learned that I must be kin to the Bennetts also , since Samuel Young was Chris Bennett's fifth great grandfather, and Samuel was my third great grandfather!
