Notes:

        Ernest Lee Robey (b. August 8, 1870, d. Sept 4, 1938) ¹
Ernest Robey was married to Edith B. Robey. He had 2 brothers and 3 sisters.
Besides the drugstore business, Ernest was also a banker in Herndon. By 1930, Ernest had left the drugstore business, and was an Insurance agent. On September 4th, 1938, Ernest died of heart disease.⁴

        Herndon Drug Store
Ernest and his father William I. Robey Sr, started a drugstore in Herndon VA about 1888. His father left the store in Ernest's hands in November 1900. The drug store was located on Pine Street, next door to his house. In 1917, there was a large fire in Herndon that burned down (or at least damaged) the store. ⁴ The new store was housed in the building that is now the Zeffireli restaurant. ³

        Fairfax Drug Store
Ernest opened a second drugstore, this one in Fairfax, about 1902. Dr. Harry L. Burrows managed the Fairfax store. Harry died on June 10, 1927. In September of that year, Robey sold the Fairfax store to T. Ramsay Taylor of Norfolk VA although it appears that the building remained in the ownership of one of Ernest's brothers, attorney George B. Robey. ⁴

        Washington DC Drug Store(s)
Ernest opened a third store, this one in Washington DC, in March of 1911. At some point, this third store was taken over by Frank Robey, Ernest's brother. In 1922, the store became a People's drug store, and Frank opened up a new drugstore at 200 Upshur Street, NW. ⁴
