Old Point Pharmacy
Company Names, addresses, dates:
Old Point Pharmacy, Old Point Comfort, VA (ca.1919) 1
Notes:
The only year I could find newspaper advertisements that mention the
Old Point Pharmacy was 1919.1
William Franklin Geiger (1879-1935)2
is listed as a druggist, working for J. B. Kimberly at Old Point Comfort
on his WW-I registration card, dated 12-Sep-1918.
Then in 1919, he was working for the Old Point Pharmacy.3
But in 1920, he and S.E. Geiger took over the business of Dr. G.L. Geiger,
called "Geiger's Drug Store" in Accomack County, Virginia.4
I couldn't determine if the Old Point Pharmacy ended when Geiger left, or
if it continued with someone taking his place.
For what it's worth, I see mentions of "Kimberly's drug store" in Old Point
as early as 19075.
It's possible that Kimerly's drug store was called the "Old Point Pharmacy",
but I could not find anything to indicate that.
