The
Kelchner Brothers Store was located on the NW corner of Main and
Richmond Streets. Samuel Kelchner constructed the building in 1867
with the store on the first floor while the second and third
floors were living quarters. Some years later in the same
building, George Schlegel and and his brother Alfred carried on a
hardware business in the same building. The man holding the child
in the photograph is Sam Kelchner. The man on the wagon is Jacob
Kelchner, Sam's brother and business partner. Jacob was the owner
of the livery stable beyond the trees on the right side of the
photograph. It was the old Daniel Focht Carriage Works. |
