This building complex still stands on the south side of Cedar between Townsend and Silverleaf streets. The roof has been completely reconstructed and it has been remodeled several times since then. This building replaced previous structures that had been destroyed by a fire that destroyed most of the commercial block in 1936. Another fire in 1947 prompted the first major remodeling of this building.

DEAR DR. ROACH: I’ve been experiencing pain in my chest, dizziness and shortness of breath on exertion. The chest pain lasts for a few hours. At one point, it was so bad that I couldn’t walk a hundred feet, had to use a cane and severely limit my physical activity.

Often people think of the resurrection of Jesus like a resuscitation of his body. They think of it as similar to when Jesus brought Lazarus back to life after four days in the tomb. People immediately recognized Lazarus, unwrapped his burial clothing, and he was the same old Lazarus.
