From the official web page of the
Marcy Diner
David Brobst established a general store on this site in 1840.
"David became the first Postmaster of Marcy in approximately 1857. He remained Postmaster until his death in 1893. . . . After David's death, his second wife, Celicia Brobst, assumed the management of the store.
Famed in her later years as probably the eldest woman storekeeper in Ohio, Mrs. Brobst operated the store alone until her death at the age of 88 in 1933. It is believed the original Brobst store burn down after the death of Celicia Brobst."
The diner's web page has a photo of the diner taken about 1960, although no exact date is given for the opening of the original diner at this location.
