Does anyone remember Byerly's grocery store? It was located where Chase Bank is now housed in the southeast corner of the main four. It was one of numerous grocery and dry goods stores currently operating in Fowlerville in the mid-1900s -- Curtis Grocery was around the corner on North Grand and Miner's Groceries was across the street.
So, if you remember Byerly's, does anyone remember Chester 'Chet' Hall, the manager. During one of the months of the local newspaper celebrating businessmen in the village, the following article was published in The Fowlerville Review:
Chester 'Chet' Hall, manager of the local Byerly store for 12 years, has been selected as business man of the month.
Mr. Hall has been a resident of this locality nearly all his life, his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Hall living onlly ten miles from Fowlerville.
He was a graduate of Fowlerville high school.
Previous to operating the store here, he managed Byerly's Byron store for two years.
He is a volunteer fireman on the fire department, a member of the Commercial Club and the Masonic Lodge of Byron.
Mr. and Mrs. Hall, and two children, Jim and Peggy, reside at 512 East Grand River.
Now I'm curious -- was 'Jim', the Jim Hall the same one that had the insurance company so many years in Fowlerville?

I do remember Byerly's grocery (I was a very young
kid). I remember Chet Hall working there, and I do
believe Chet is, in fact, Jim Hall's father. I enjoy the
photos from the late 40s and on. They bring back
childhood memories!
