Wightman Drug Co


Company Names, addresses, dates:
   Wightman Drug Co, Bridgewater VA

Notes:
 Charles Dunfee Wightman was born in Edinburg VA in 1896 1, and died in Woodstock VA in 19712. He graduated with a Pharmaceutical degree from the MedicalCollege VCU in Richmond VA in 1917. His WWI draft registration card said he was a druggist for the Wightman Drug Co in Bridgewater VA.
He shows up in Roanoke city directories as the secretary-treasurer of the Central Pharmacy in Roanoke, so he must have left Bridgewater by that time.
The 1930 Census has Wightman listed as a druggist in Strasburg VA.
