Notes:
Dr. Lisle Augustus Bilisory (c.1835-1918)2 was a Physician and a
Druggist in Portsmouth VA1,2,3.
He was listed as a physician, living in Portsmouth in the 1860 Census.
The 1888 and 1889 city directories for Portsmouth list him as a Physician @ 302 Middle Street, under
the business name "G W Howe & County". His home address was also 302 Middle Street,
so his office may have been in or attatched to his house.
Later years, the city directories list his business as a drug store
under his name at 314 High Street.
His son Dr. Alonso Augustus Bilisoly (1871-1938)4 was also a Doctor,
and is listed as a partner in his fathers drugstore in the 1897-1902 city directories,
where it lists the firm as "L. A. and A. A. Bilisoly".
In 1903 it went back to being just "L.A. Bilisoly".
Alonso apparently continued to practice as a Doctor, but I found no evidence that he
was affiliated with a drugstore after 1902. His practive was on Court Street, at a
house where I've been told that his descendants lived until the 1970s.
The last year I see Lisle's drug store listed is 1911.
Lisle died in Portsmouth on 5-05-19182.
His brother,
Antonio L. Bilisory,
was also a druggist in Portsmouth.
