youth with broad experience in the
woolen mills, rallroad shops, and in
grocery stores, took $1,400 he had
saved up from his earlier labors,
and set himself up in the grocery
business on West Bishop street,
Bellefonte.
His store was located in the room
now occupied by Angelo Cenua's
tap room. Nine months later Mr,
Coxey moved hig store into what was
as the Brown Corner, Where
the Dan Grove garage now stands,
On December 1, 1806, fire destroyed
the building and the entire stock i
With only five cents in cold cash |
to his name and muleted out of |
fire insurance through the dishon- |

familiarly known, borrowed $40
from the Buddinger store company
at Bnow Bhoe and reopened his gro-
cery In the location it has occupied
ever since
That, briefly, is the history of the
