Graham Bell Sharpen your skates, give you a spot to stay Warm in the front Office if You had arrived early, and on a couple occasions Pung drove out and picked me up as I was walking to the rink, through a blizzard, in the dark, with my equipment over m shoulder in a 50lb sugar bag. I truly loved both these guys for their Enormous Hearts..

Lew Barker Remember both of them well from the rink, both were really good guys. Think my aunt went to school with Pung!

Richard Deering They also managed the arena. Was a rink rat there when I was a kid. Great times.

THE BELLEVISTA MOTEL

The Marmora Feed Mill,  which stood behind Mac's,  was originally built in October, 1927 by Charles Lummiss and William Bonter.  It had a concrete floor and was lined with metal to make it rat proof. In June of 1927,  the Herald wrote:

"Charles Lummiss and Robert E. Bonter have purchased the buildings of the old Ledger Gold Mine, near Cordova. After the buildings are taken down, they will be brought to Marmora and used to erect a grist mill and feed store. The grinding will be done by Hydro-Electric power."

Note: We have no references to the"Ledger Mine" and wonder if this was meant to be "Ledyard" Mine.

Marmora Herald,  October 6, 1927

The Feed Mill burned down on April 13,  1991 when Peter Beare was the owner.

Memories:

Terry Bell :  I worked there part time cleaning grain,delivering freight for Pat McNamara.

Ronald Barrons :   In my childhood, this Mill was Marmora for me for the most part. My father would bring there grain, what ever the trunk would carry, to be chopped for feed, generally a couple or three times a month. We might go over to Neal and Naylor's for a look around or a pound of nails while we waited the milling. I still retain vision of that store. Hardware stores still remain one of my favourite places.
On our way home, we'd stop at Lynch's to pickup a selection of meat from the lockers, the coldest place in the world.   Carl Heath was the owner way back and I believe the miller was Harry (?)

Tom O'Neill :  There used to be a guy there named "grain bag " aka Ken Heath

 Randy Vilneff:  That silo just about killed me when it came down in the fire

Starting the ice  delivery business in the old Lynch's store at the top of Forsyth Street,  the Lynch family soon saw the need for a bigger depot,  and built their trucking depot on  Marble Point Road just north of Highway #7 west.

THE COUNTRY KITCHEN

This building, on Highway 7 just west of the Village,  was built circa 1959, to be used as a building material store. However,  the store did not last long as such and soon became a restaurant operated by Marcel and Glenn Labossiere.

Joanne MacKenzie Thompson :  loved it here for Sunday breakfast

MARMORA HOME CENTRE 

The business was later sold to Ron and Kevin Robb who sold to the Broadbent family in 1984.

Kim Lawrence Barton:   My parents owned the store, the gas station was across the road and was owned by the hammocks. The store is now a house.

TWO STORES AT THE NORTH END!

Leo Provost sorts things out: Some folk are getting the North End Store confused with Tom Smiths Texaco Service Station. The North End Store was originally owned by Matt McGarvey & his wife.  It ran for a number of years & then was operated by Olive,  who was the daughter of the McGarveys & her husband Wes Cuddy.   I believe the next owners were Al Lawrence & his wife.  It was always a grocery store but never a gas station I don't recall who owned it in its later years.

• Sue Cuddy writes: The North End Store was started by Matthew and Annie Mc Garvey who handed it down to Wes and Olive Cuddy. They in turn sold to Rose McGarvey and she sold it to Al and Pat Lawrence. The Lawrences have the old store sign .
