      <marmot:placeNotes>A longstanding, family-owned shoe store that was owned and operated by the Benge family. It opened in 1909 and closed in 2021. Famously, the store employed Orus Bonham Trumbo, the father of Dalton Trumbo (who eventually became an Oscar-winning screenplay writer). Trumbo was fired from the store. Unable to find a new job, the Trumbo family moved to Los Angeles, where Orus's health declined quickly.</marmot:placeNotes>
