Druggist and dealer in notions, was born at
Columbus, Ohio, December, 25, 1849.
Here he
was
educated and entered into business. Thus he in turn was druggist, dealer
in boots and shoes, and tanner. His health failed him in 1879 and upon his
physician's advice he moved west. That year he arrived at Ord with his
family, consisting of wife formerly Miss Mary Whiteside—and two children,
Emma (King) and Charlie. He spent some three years farming near Ord. A
year later be established himself at Taylor, only to again return to Ord
to work in the H. A. Walker drug store. In 1886 when there was talk of the
Union Pacific tapping Taylor he once more located at Taylor. But
dissappointed in this we soon find him back at Ord in his chosen
profession. Once more he returned to Taylor, carrying with him stock,
building and all. Today he is the only druggist in Taylor and carries an
unusually complete stock of drugs and whatever else belongs to a well
appointed establishment of this kind.
