This was a meat market originally owned by L. E. Nagel. He sold it to Oscar Dintelman who sold it to Robert Shaw. Nagel and Dintelman had a slaughterhouse in the back where they killed locally raised livestock. On weekends many people from the East ST. Louis and Belleville, Illinois metro area came out to buy fresh, home killed beef and pork. Shaw operated it as a grocery and liquor store. He sold it to Joe and Marge Dickey who continued the business. It was sold in the 80's or 90's to Schneidewind Insurance. It sits at the junction of Illinois RTs 4 and 13. The road at the bottom of the picture with the stop sign is Finger Hill Rd, a Marissa TWP road.

I forgot to say in my other post that it was called the Wye Market. The state highways came together in a wye. They have been changed to a Tee. There is a bar and grill west of it now, which is the left of the picture. Also, the Dickeys had the market after Dintelman. Jim Bilderback started the liquor and grocery store then Shaw bought it. Schneidewinds put their insurance business in it in about 1973 or 74.
