Originally the main building was Jim Wiand’s barn located near where Jim Etzler’s butcher shop is now. Russell Benfer moved it in the late 1930s to begin his planing mill. This main building is now owned by and is located at Paul Kline’s property outside of Beaver Springs. Karen’s Kut and Kurl is now on the site of where this building stood.

(Can you name at least two others that owned this business? Answer next month.)
