Date D. B. Bentley had a blacksmith shop here sometime after 1892.
1896 Frank Bentley opened up a blacksmith and general repair shop in his father’s old stand on the west side east of the Elkhorn depot.
1897 Paul Dusek of Milligan purchased Will Smith’s interest in the Bentley & Smith blacksmith shop and moved his part of the shop, including the front part of the building to the rear of Camp’s Store. Mr. Dusek fronted on Court street. (Mr. Bentley began at once to build a new front on his shop and continued business at 1030 G Street.)
1900 Bert Camp built an addition to the shop that stood on the south side of Court Street next to the Elkhorn track. He moved his broom factory into the building.
