I have a photograph that was among my grandmother's things. It shows the I.G. Wilson
Grocery, which I think was either in Delphi or in Sleeth. My grandmother was Mary
LeSourd, daughter of Levi Curtis LeSourd and Rachel Anna Sleeth.
The photograph was probably taken in the 1890s or very early 1900s. I have scanned it. If
anyone has any information about this business, I'd be happy to hear it. I have
scanned the photo and anyone who would like a copy is welcome to it.
My grandmother told the that the children in the vicinity of the store would yell out,
"I. G. Wilson -- nut, nut, nut, nut, nut!" I don't remember any more of the
story than that, and don't know what the kids had against Mr. Wilson.
