Redman's
Hall - Do you know all about the building where you go to pick up your mail
or spend time browsing in the antique store? On the second floor of the building
where the Post Office and Holcombe's Antiques and Collectibles are presently located,
a patriotic organization for men once met called I O R M or the Improved Order
of Red Men. The public referred to it as Redman's Hall. There were many square
dances there, says Leota Martin. At one time Dana Hoch had a movie theater up
there. Russell Bryan wrote in Sense and Nonsense that it was Tad Fickle and Jim
Bailey's task to run the old machine and also, Coralee Judge adds, for Jim to
run down to the street to announce when the next reel was about to start, as told
to her by her father. Russell Bryan writes, "Wesley Ambler, a blind musician,
played the piano for the silent movies." Bud Harshman told me to look through
binoculars at the building, so one bright Saturday morning in 2007, I did. It
still has I O R M and the date 1903 on top of the building facade.
