White's Pharmacy


Company Names, addresses, dates:
  White's Pharmacy, 84 30th St, Hilton Village VA (1940-19??) 1

Notes:
Burnett Graves White (1893-1983)2 started the Whites Pharmacy at Hilton Villiage in 19401.
Hilton Village is a neighborhood in Newport News, VA.

White was born in Madison VA1, and his 1917 WWI draft card listed him as a pharmacy student, working for his father.
The 1930 US Census listed White living in Richmond, VA, working as a pharmacist.

In 1943, he opened another store called "Whites Garden Pharmacy"3.
The last newspaper advertisement I could find for White's Pharmacy was 14-Oct-1960, so I don't know how much longer than that it lasted. White's death certificate in 1983 listed him as a pharmacist (at age 90), so his store may have lasted until that time.
