Originally, G & M Grocery occupied the small building
It was Anna Laura’s for as long as I can remember.
The small store was located directly across from Edison School
The store was crammed full from front to back
Anna Laura was one of the sweetest ladies you could ever meet
She was robbed and stabbed 27 times on December 23, 1970
Anna survived her wounds and her assailant Randahl Crawford Witt
was sentenced to life in prison on November 21, 1972
Her small store was later torn down
A new Family Resource Center building was constructed
Anna Laura Cooley passed away in 1984
Her husband, Clarence J Cooley passed away in 1974
