“I started at Hill’s café in 1954 at $0.50 an hour and they took out $0.25 for any meal you ate that day. My bosses were Ella Hill McCabe and her sister Lois Hill. Cooks were Marceline Lamb, Lena Wildman, Ruchiel Born, and Margie Lawson Ganley, among others. We closed at 11:00 p.m., but not until Ken & Kermit Body and any other of their friends came between 9:00 p.m. & 10:00 p.m. for their last coffee of the day. I worked there until April 8, 1957.” Submitted by Irene Hooker
The ladies in the photo from the Centennial booklet (see below) were identified with help from Shirley McCabe Still and Irene Hooker. They are (from left to right) Mary, Florence Dobson, and Owner Ella Hill McCabe. Does anyone remember Mary's last name?
