Abstract:      Store, blacksmith shop, and mill in Afton, Va.,
           about 20 miles west of Charlottesville.  Customers
           lived in western Albemarle County and northern Nelson
           County, Va.  After the Civil War, the store was owned
           by Chesterfield Critzer.  Critzer descendants ran the
           business from the late 19th century until the late
           1940s.  The building still stands on Critzer's Shop
           Road in Afton.

           The ledger contains 464 pages of accounts with
           individuals in Albemarle and Nelson counties, Va., for
           purchases of groceries, fabric, clothes, shoes,
           hardware, and other supplies.  The name J. and M.
