S.G. Good
Company Names, addresses, dates:
  S.G. Good, New Market, VA (1885-ca.1916) 1
Notes:
Samuel Godfrey Good (1863-1951)2
worked for his father on his farm for the first 26 years of his life.
In 1885, he opened a drugstore in New Market. He operated that store until
1916, when he turned over the management of that store to his son,
Norman B. Good. In that year, Samuel moved to Strasburg, where he
opened up a
Peoples Drug Store. 1
I don't know exactly what year his store in New Market stopped being a
drug store. A newspaper article in 1932 mentioned that the store was still
operated by his son, but it was called the "N.B. Good Gift Shop" at that
time. 3
So it appears it stopped being a drug store some time between 1916 and 1932.
Good was the owner and/or manager of the Strasburg Peoples drugstore on and
off until sometime after 1932.3
He worked at other drug stores as well, and when he retired in 1941, he
was the oldest druggist in Shenandoah County.1
