Rita Jane Croy and Louise Croy Restaurant Days
 No photographs are available of the time Rita Jane
 and Louise owned it.
 Not sure of the date Rita Jane Croy and her mother
 Louise Croy bought the restaurant. They ran it
 during the WW II years and sold it to Kathryn and
 Paul Croy in 1946	

 M.L. Johnson Memories - Late night Saturday closings
 
 After closing, we would clean up the place and the go
 to 5:00 a.m. Mass, which they had during the war so
 people working in Defense Plants could go to church.
 Both dad and Rita also worked at the Tank Depot in
 Lima, not sure of the timeframe. No Saturday evening
 masses back then. After mass, everyone, mom, dad and
 all who went to mass, would come home and sleep.


 K. E. Croy Memories - WW II has ended

 I remember the day the war ended. Dad and I went to
 the restaurant to help out because they were so busy.
 I had never stayed up so late at night. Celebrating
 people would come in for something to eat and coffee.
 We sold everything in the restaurant. When some of
 the people found we had no more food or coffee, they
 asked for bread on a plate or crackers and would put
 ketchup or mustard on them and drink a glass of water.
 Mom offered to give them the bread and crackers, but
 they still left money. Everyone was so happy the war
 had ended..


 In August, 1946, Rita Jane and Louise would sell the restaurant
 business to Aunt Kathryn and Uncle Paul Croy.
