Notes:
Walton & Smoot pharmacy is still in business today.
The following information was taken from "Early Woodstock Facts and Photographs"1:
Clyde E. Walton and Dr. James H. Smoot purchased Irwin's Drug Store in 1906. The
drugstore was on the corner of Main and Court Streets, and had been started by Dr.
J.S. Irwin in the early 1880s. In 1935 Walton & Smoot was purchased by H.A. Moore
& George W. Clower, however the name of the store did not change. In 1952, the store
was bought by Millson French. In 1962, French moved the store to it's present
location, which was once the Geary Hotel. It was originally a 3 story building, but
in 1975 the 3rd story was removed after the building was damaged in a fire.
