Chunn's General Store Outside of Woodbury

Alice Knipp Garnto
This building is an example of a rural community store of frame construction with brick piers and a front gable, rectangular shape. According to Joanne Williamson Amerson, the Chunn family ran the general store. It was known as Chunn’s Hardware Store. Joanne’s mother would stop at the store after work and purchase groceries. She could not recall when the store closed but knew it was several... years ago. According to deeds, the Chunn family did not own the property, but it has been owned by the Heard family since 1945. Mrs. J.L. Betts sold the property to Mrs. Pattie Walton Heard for $2,500. The 2 acre property is part of land lot 20 in the 8th district. Land lot 20 was drawn by widow Julian A. Bray in 1827.  https://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsEntry/attachments/attachmentViewRD.jsp;ATTACHMENTS=lpgSRFJVB2WJxyGVvyn2hv5TFgnsLpJ6Py79xBZKfkSm1PCykfyW!-1634321328!NONE?applType=search&fileKey=1119975941&attachmentKey=18947400&applID=4126045&attchExt=pdf&attchLocDt=201207&applOrLicKey=T
