Bloxtons' Pharmacy, Inc


Company Names, addresses, dates:
   Bloxtons' Pharmacy, Inc, Powhatan, VA (1956-ca.1976) 1,2

Notes:
Francis Edmunds Bloxton (1923-2005)3 had been a pharmacist at McCrum's and Wayland's drug stores in Lexington, before he moved to Powhatan to open his own drugstore in 1956.1

In 1976, Francis announced his "semi-retirement". 4
I couldn't find any references to his pharmacy after that date, so I presume that's when it closed.


Bottles:
