Jerome A. Estes established a general store on this site in 1895. It burned to the ground in 1919 after being struck by lightning and Estes moved his store across the street. In 1928, Jerome’s nephew, Ralph L. Estes, took over proprietorship for 11 years and it was operated by subsequent generations of the Estes family until 2003, when it became Sangar’s Store.
