Linda Kidwiler Henson: Check with Ronnie Miller who still lives in this building. It belonged to his family. Ronnie had a brother; his mother's name was Pat and his Dad was Ronald. The old post office building also belongs to the Miller family I believe. Across the street from this building is where a little store was located also belonging to the Millers. The little garage that was once there was operated by George and Viola Gregg. Now the AME church owns it.

Sherry Chapman: Excellent account Linda! I lived in Knoxville when there were three stores and one was a gas station. Jack Miller had his store across the street and he lived on the other side of the post office. Ronald Miller and his mother Nanural had this store. I delivered the newspaper and Nanural would pull down a cigar box to get money to pay me. And the Gregg's Service Center on the corner was my home away from home. Mrs. Gregg and I became very close over the years. We spent a lot of time keeping each other company before I had children and a job. Love that lady like a second Mom!
