College and Tickets Now on Sale Mrs, Muzz Sells North Ferrisburg General Store NORTH FERRISBURG Muzzy's General Store has been "sold, announces former owner Mrs. Flora Muzzy. The store, which is located on U.S. 7, has been purchased by Mr.

and Mrs. Floyd Whitte- more of North Ferrisburg, who will operate the business. Whittemore also owns a dairy farm which he operates in this community. Mrs. Muzzy said that the store, which has become a land mark in the town, has been in the Muzzy family for over 24 years.

In 1943, when her late husband, George Muzzy, bought the business from his former employer, it was located on old U.S. 7. Following his death a few years later, Mrs. Muzzy and her sister, Miss Jessie Perkins, carried on the business until the death of her sister in 1965. Since that time Mrs.

Muzzy has operated the business alone. A few years after buying the business, which was situated in very small quarters, Muzzy purchased the unused Friends meeting house, located several yards from the original store, and it was moved to that location. In the mid 1950's U.S. 7 was moved, which necessitated moving the store once more, a distance of about two miles to its present location.
