"SHINBRIER" ALMOST HEAVEN by "dizzy" harris. 

 Harris Grocery at Shinbrier, West Virginia. Photo taken 1973. Store was built in 1924 and operated by the Miller family. Was purchased by Elbert and Walter Harris. Walter later bought out Elbert's half interest and operated store until purchased by oldest brother, Jesse. Jess and wife, Elizabeth, operated store until economics forced closing. Store became vacated, vandalized and later burned by a controlled fire performed by the Bramwell Fire Department.

Gasoline pumps were located at left of steps but were removed for fear of fire and possible explosion. This nearly happened in the 1940's.

 ELIZABETH AND JESS HARRIS AT A VERY YOUNG AGE
