My grandfather, Carl Ackley, worked as usher, janitor, and handyman for the Capitol Theater in the 50’s. My mother and her siblings got in free, and were there everytime there was a new movie showing. My mother met my father the day the theater burned. She worked at McCann’s drug store on the square, and he came in for a Coke after watching the fire. They were married a year later. My grandparents are buried there in Benton Cemetary south of town. Just a little history. Thought you might enjoy.
