About
fifty years ago [about 1827], Cornelius
Riley opened a tavern, at Riley’s Corners, on the road
extending northward into Crawford, which was the first road in [Sugar
Grove] township. This hotel was kept open for a number of years, until
the death of its proprietor, who was killed between his house and
Greenville. Co-temporary with the hotel a store was established by James Nesbit, near the present
[1877] Nesbit residence.
