Hunton's Drug Store


Company Names, addresses, dates:
  Hunton's Drug Store, Main Street, Warrenton VA (c.1883-c.1903) 1,2

Notes:
Dr. George W. Hunton (1826-1903)2 practiced medicine and ran a drugstore in Warrenton VA.
The 1850 Census listed him as a physician, living in Culpeper VA. The 1870 Census listed him as a physician living in Brentsville VA.
He moved to Warrenton in 18831.
One of the receipts below is from January 1902, so Hunton's drugstore lasted at least until then. Hunton died in May 19032, so his drugstore presumably went out of business on or before that year.
