This building also housed an abandoned hotel, located above the restaurant. Cause of the fi re was not determined but was believed to have started in the upper level of the building. An adjoining skating rink and Puckett’s Grocery Store were saved, but was damaged by smoke and water. Oscar Johns owned the 14-year-old building, built by L. B. Parker, and Junior and Nina Redmon operated the restaurant. Firemen from Murfreesboro, College Grove, Chapel Hill and Sewart Air Force Base answered the call to help the Eagleville volunteer fi re department prevent what could have been another major disaster to Eagleville. MCRAE HOTEL BURNS - 1963 On November 22, 1963 the McRae Home and Hotel burned to the ground. Located at the corner of Allisona Road and Main Street, this beautiful two-story house was built prior to 1892. Owned by Chesley Williams at the time of his death, it passed through several ownerships before Mr. and Mrs. Pleasant Samuel McRae purchased it in 1910.

Marshall’s Grocery, a two story building, located at the present site of Ea- gleville Drug Center was owned and operated by Howard and Helen Mar- shall. In 1935, G. V. Arnold purchased this property from W. F. Carson and operated a drug store – ice cream shop. In November 1944 the store and property sold to Malcolm “Pat” Bellenfant and in October 1945 the Mar- shall’s purchased it. In additional to a grocery store, the building previously housed a gift shop, operated by the Marshall’s and a barbershop operated several years by Bud Walker, who died in 1964. Arthur Barnes lived in the upstairs living area of the store building several years until his death in 1969. He sold newspapers from the entrance to his living quarters on the north end of the building. TWO-APARTMENT FIRE -1982 A two-family residence located just north of the John Redmond Bridge burned June 14, 1982. This rental property was owned by Jimmy and Ellie Wilkinson.

Margaret’s rossword Helpful Hints C Don’t want to spend a lot time on oven cleaning? Place ammonia (about 1 cup) in an aluminum pie pan and place it in the oven overnight. In the morning, simply remove the pan and wipe the oven clean with a damp sponge. If you do this often (about once a month) you won’t have to spend money on harmful chemicals to do the job.

To keep lint and dust off glass top tables, wash them in a solution of warm water and fabric softener. Add one tablespoon of liquid fabric softener to one quart of warm water. The fabric softener will clean the glass inexpensively and will help keep lint from gathering on the glass. Also great for computer screens and TV’s.

When bread is baking, a small oven safe dish of water in the oven will help to keep the crust from getting too hard.
