Notes:
Leonard Temple Marston (1869-1955)3 was a clerk for the Bodeker Brothers drug store in the early 1890's.2

In 1894, Marston teamed up with Julian Paoli, and their pharmacy at 433 S Pine Street was named "Paoli & Marston". By 1897, Marston was the sole owner of that store.1,2

Marston ran the store until about 1908. In later years, Marsten went back to being a clerk for other drug stores again, and the store was taken over by Zachary W. Smith1,2.
Smith ran the store until about 1933, as he shows up in the 1933 city directory but not the 1934 directory.2
