History
Here's a bit of history on the building in which we are located:
1893
In the sleepy prairie of Quakers Corners a general store was started out of the Hall family home.  In the store a Post Office was established under the official town name of Whittier.
1903
Store is robbed on June 4th.  Thieves make off with $70 in government money, $30 to $40 belonging to the firm, a quantity of stamps, two cheap watches, some shoes and miscellaneous articles.
1946
Current owner Pete Kinkead installs a frozen food locker.
1951
Fire fighters battle a blaze possibly caused by an air compressor motor.  Fire damages rear section of store.
1956
Store changes hands to Lester Hoffman.
1975 & 1976
Hoffmans close store and all items inside are auctioned off by Bud Smith of Coggon  & Kenneth Hoge of Springville
1991
Walter "Wally" Searcy purchases the building  from Lester.
2009
Building is sold to Gary and Kathy Knight, who then remodel and open the Whittier Market.
This history was compiled through newspaper articles.  At one point in time there were 2 stores in Whittier and differentiating the 2 stores was difficult. The old articles used the term "Whittier store" rather then the store names, so I'm sorry if any information is incorrect.
