In November 1907, Fordyce moved his pool and billiard fixtures to the building vacated by Mr. D. W. Fawkes (local druggist).
In February 1908, Ike Joy purchases the (Sherman B.) Fordyce pool and billiard hall and contemplates installing a bowling alley. Mr. Joy installs a bowling alley in the pool room (using the alley formerly owned by Mr. Fordyce) in March 1908. In April 1908, Ike Joy disposes of his pool and bowling business to Justin Miller but gets it back by June, two months later. Ike Joy installs a new hard wood bowling alley in August 1909 and leases the place to J. I. Hubbard in September 1909. By December 1909, Albert Taylor closed a deal with Mr. Joy for the pool, billiard and bowling fixtures. In August 1910, Albert Taylor disposed his interests in the pool hall to Ed Odell of Miller Creek. Ed Odell sold his pool tables, bowling alley, candy and tobacco to M. Cotton of Spearfish S. D. in February 1912. M. Cotton subsequently sells out later that month to G. W. Cady of Vale, S. D., naming C. R. Hawley as manager. G. W. Cady sold the pool hall to N. Wilson in February 1913 and less than a year later, in April 1914, N. Wilson sold the pool hall to W. A. Clark. W. A. Clark sold the bowling and billiard hall to J. J. Wright in May 1916. J. J. Wright moved the pool tables and fixtures out (no mention of alleys) in May 1918. |
