Their homemade pies were the best in town, they sold them both wholesale and retail Jerre-Anne was more than just another restaurant. It was a piece of St. Joseph history. Jerre Anne was one of the oldest restaurants in St. Joseph when it closed in July 2008. It began as a delicatessen that was owned and operated by two sisters: Afra Stolz Lineberry and Frances Carolus. The sisters began by just offering cool refreshments to the trolley drivers and their passengers, since the trolley's route ended on the corner in front of Jerre-Anne. The Jerre-Anne was named after Frances' two daughters, Geraldine "Jerre" Carolus Lawhon and Anne Carolus Benitz In July 2008, Jerre-Anne closed its door and went out of business. As of April 2016, the building still sits empty.
