B.W. Wells


Company Names, addresses, dates: 1,2
  B.W. Wells, 801 Main Street, Lynchburg VA (ca.1897-1912)

Notes:
 Benjamin Wesley Wells (1856-1912)2 owned a drugstore in Lynchburg VA. His drugstore doesn't show up in the 1890 Lynchburg city directory, but it does in the 1897 one, so his store started sometime in that time frame. 1

I couldn't find much information about him, or his drugstore. He passed away in 1912, and his drugstore doesn't show up in city directories after that, nor does any other drugstore at the same address (801 Main Street).
