Notes - William Hunter died in 1868 or 69 and in the latter year, Wray and Hirsch became tenants of the shop . They continued in partnership only until 1870 when Alex Wray rented the shop on Cooper Street from the Estate of Charles Wiffler who had evidently built it as well as the Waggon Shop. Wray and Hirsch had acquired the Hunter Shop, each owning an undivided one-half interest in it. In 1871, Wray had gone to Plattsville still owning a half interest in the shop in which Hirsch was carrying on. By 1872, James Anderson had acquired Hirsch's half interest and also the Allendorf lot at the corner on which had been erected the middle portion of the present James Sault house, to which later Mr. Sault added the stone front portion and the kitchen in the rear of the original house. By 1873, James Anderson had acquired the interest of Wray in the shop and so owned it and the house then on the corner. And Hirsch continued as his tenant of both until 1874 or 1875. Then James Anderson operated the shop for a year or two.
