Thanks to Sam Talley, who adds: "In 1917 the Liberty Grocery was built by Tony Tesia and a group of 22 other Croatian immigrants as a co-op in Bay City or South Aberdeen next to the Bay City Lumber mill. Son John 'Bronco' Tesia took over the business in 1954 and operated the Liberty Tavern until his death in 2004. Bronco was a well respected local historian and his tavern was full of historical artifacts. It was placed on the Washington Herritage Register of historic buildings in 2001. Because the tavern was built on logs and too dilapidated to repair, it was demolished shortly after his death. (see also image #14123_1)"
