Notes:
Joseph Arthur Jeffries (1840-1919) began his career at age 14 as an apprentice to
Dr. J.H. Stephens.
Jeffries served in the Confederate Army during the civil war, and after that he became
a partner to Dr. Stephens. 1
In 1876, Jeffries purchased a drug store from Dr. E.F. Kloman, and in 1877 he left his
partnership with Dr. Stephens and went solo. The building he was in was constructed
in 1847. 1
Joseph's son, James Walden Jeffries (1872-1942) took over control of the drugstore
after his father's death.2
James later moved to Richmond VA, and started a Jeffries drugstore there. His daughter,
Camilla Jeffries, took over that drugstore, to carry on the tradition of her father
and grandfather. She was the first female president of the Richmond Pharmaceutical
Assocation.3
The Jeffries Drugstore in Warrenton VA closed in 1948.1
