Kendrick's Grocery of Britton, OK

"I may have the only copy of this rare photo of the interior of the original Kendrick Grocery of Britton, Oklahoma and I've not sent this one to very many folks but thought you might like to see it. Appearing left to right are: my grandmother, Martha Elizabeth (Burdick) Kendrick; my dad, John Chasteen Kendrick; my grandfather, Ernest Chasteen Kendrick (hiding the end of the arm that had the hand removed because of lead-paint poison); unknown, but appears to be Roy Avey (for whom I was named); 2 more unknowns and then; my dad's identical twin brother, William Chester Kendrick. I wish I could read the date on that Buick calendar on the wall. It appears to be the same as a 1928 Perry, Oklahoma Buick calendar in my possession. I do NOT know where in Britton this was located but presume that it was somewhere between Western Avenue and the interurban tracks near the highschool, and probably on Britton Avenue. This would have been taken before mom and dad were married, perhaps before they'd met." -- Roy
