That was named after an old indian man named Bruner, that owned land there.  A small mostley credit grosery store, that had a great meat market, established back in the 1940's/early 50's,  by Don John's, and another guy, but I can't remember his name. My father retired from there, a union meat cutter. back when that was a good paying trade, one of my brothers, and I, both worked part time as meat cutters there, while on the Fire Department. The other owner feel ill and a few years later Don, got cancer, and passed away. The other guy's widow operated it as long as she could, and closed it down in the 80's I think? Old fashend meat markets, are a thing of the past, Perry's was another old fashion meat market in the Tulsa  area! A friend that worked at Perry's, told me they couldn't even buy carcass beef, in quarters, all they could get before they closed, when Bud the owner passed away, was boxed trivac beef,  processed in huge plants by illegal immigrants!! No need for skilled mest cutters now! PROGRESS? I don't think the state of Maine allows big Corporate, anything, in their state, and still have REAL people operating stores of all kinds, lodges, gas stations, etc. and don't seem to be any worse off because ot that!! NEAT PLACE to visit, and great people, even if they do talk kinda funny!!</p></blockquote><p></p>
