It is a pretty town hall, wearing a new white- painted face on its time-tested edifice of brick, and blooming marigolds in its planters. It is the first town hall Lattimore, found ed in 1895, has ever had. The new-old building, its bright-white meeting room walls lined with modern, colorful plastic chairs, and its floor covered with new brown carpet, was dedicated Sunday after noon. Townspeople and well- wishers came, many bringing historic artifacts and photographs to share. The dedication was really a big com munity party, with platters of refreshments “on the town.” “It was real good, 1 thought,” said Mayor Ben Wilson, reflec ting on the festivities. The town hall building is a gift to the town from Mrs. Norman B. Lee, in memory of her father- in-law, Dr. Lawrence Victor Lee, who. was born in 1871 and died in 1943. It used to be Dr. Lee’s headquarters; he practiced medicine in the back rooms and the front was the drugstore. That was in the days when the town boomed with two railroads with passenger service. (There are still two sets of tracks but the trains roar through, hardly slow ing down.) There were, at one time, two doctors and a denitst and bank active in Lattimore. There even was a jail, for criminal types, no doubt, who rode the boxcars in from somewhere else.

Lattimore, the town’s first mayor, who serv ed from 1899-1903, and his son J.B. Lattimore, who later served as mayor himself. Some brought pictures of the old departed school houses, and someone showed a portrait of Lattimore’s first tractor. The post office, in that early-1900s era when Dr. Lee’s building was rather new, was on a little tract between the drug Deck The Halls With ...Olives?
