Notes:
William F. Ingram (1857-1936)3 was the owner and pharmacist for the Norfolk Drugstore using his own name.

He apparently sold his store in 1919, as the 1920 city directory lists the Charles A. Francis drugstore at his store's location (703 Church Street), and Ingram was listed as a pharamacist (but not a store owner) in the residential section of that directory. In the years from 1920 to 1934, Ingram was listed as a pharmacist at various drugstores in the city directories, until the 1935 directory where he had no occupation given, so he presumably had retired.
