Notes
a. Note:   From a newspaper article by Jack Bailey about Mrs. Laura Gagle "Still Pumping Gasoline at 80."
  "We lost the farm and when we sold out we had little or nothing left, Mrs. Gagle said. We did salvage enough to buy an acre of land on the corner and put up a small building. We lived and operated our business out of the small building for several years, then we built the home where I now live."
  Mrs. Gagle said the going was rough through most of the 1930's. Crops were poor and prices were low, she pointed out. She said it was not uncommon to have a farmer stop in his model T and ask if she would charge a gallon of gas until he drove into town and sold his eggs or cream.
  Without exception. the Gagle's accommodated the farmers and invariably they paid their gas bill on the return trip. These same farmers, years later, after times became better remembered the favors granted them by the Gagle's and have continued to trade at the corner filling station.
