Comments

This is the Cranston General Store/Texaco Station/Post Office run by Leo Brookhart. Frank & Laura Courtney lived in the white house behind the store that you can see.

I grew up in the second house to the left of the store. The store owner was my great-uncle. The Gann family ended up buying the building and making it into their home. I still live in Cranston but in a house that would be to the right of the store.

Is this over by Wild Cat Den Park?!

Frank and Laura Courtney were my grandparents. Laura was a Brookhart related to Leo. I believe the house is no longer there

Doug, no your grandparents house is no longer there. Unfortunately it was the victim of arson a few years ago. As far as I know the person was never caught.

My wife's dad's family all born an raised there my father in law was ike mccleeary went all through school an all

I live in this house now. Really cool to see what this place started out to be.
