William Campbell to build new store 1895October 24, 1895 Shakopee Argus

William Campbell has just received a car load of lumber of which he is to build a new store on the old John Berrisford place in Burnsville Township.

This clipping may result in a change of Burnsville Savage history. It has always been said that the Razors Edge Barbershop is located in the original Berrisford Store, moved to Hamilton/Savage after St. John the Baptist burnt and was rebuilt in town. This could mean, it was the Campbell "Hall" store that was moved, from the original Berrisford land.
