I found this searching the Shelby County, MO, historical society website. I knew of the existence of the bookstore from Dr. Jim Foster in Shelbina, as well as from the Mary Threlkeld Pilcher book. Evidently it was run by Ethel Stalcup, a daughter of Sampson Key Stalcup. Her sister ran a hat shop close by, but no pictures yet. I'll add more details later.
