Notes:
Custis Lee Coleman (ca.1888-1913) was the proprietor of the Coleman's Drug Store in Lexington VA. That didn't last long, as he passed away in 1913, about 18 months after opening the drug store. 1

The drugstore continued, with H.L. Coleman as the new owner.3
That didn't last long either, as the store was sold in 1914 to Messrs Wayland & Goodall 4.
