I thought it might be my Uncle Don Fouts. He had two brothers, Bill and Brock, who were in business in Hazard. Don was my uncle. They all came from Laurel County My father, Brock, owned the Hazard Drug on Main Street until his death in 1945. I was only 8 years old when he passed. My mother ran the store until about 1948 when she had to sell it due to illness. Don had two sons, Don Marshall Fouts and Charles Lee "Jitter" Fouts by his first wife. His second wife, Zeta, is mother to Gene Porter Fouts and Susan Fouts Melton. Susan lives in Hazard and married Dexter Melton. Thanks for the good news. Bobby Brock Fouts, Ellijay, GA Brock Fouts owned the Hazard Drug in the 1940's. After his death, his widow married Dr, Peterson, a physician from Minnesota, I think, who had come to work for my father, Dr. Dana Snyder at the Hurst-Snyder Hospital. They bought the store and later sold it to the heirs of Bailey P. Wootton. Then Joe Duncan came to Hazard after graduating from Pharmacy school and purchased it in 1952. I really don't remember much about it as I was in high school then. I graduated from H. H.S. in 1944. We all gravitated to Don's every afternoon to drink cokes and laugh and joke, etc. It was the equivalent to the recreation center in our day and time. How Don ever put up with us I'll never know. Bill, owned Fouts Drug, Brock owned Hazard Drug, and Don owned Don's. They were all brothers in business on Main Street in Hazard. Elizabeth S. Duncan Could it be one of the Fouts brothers? Mary Jo

Well, looks like me and Carlene is bending toward a
newspaper feller. I remember Hiram Nolan and his wife there at The
Hazard Herald, and he or both of them went later to Clay County, I think.
Could it be Hiram Nolan? I do not know of any siblings he had though
in business on Main Street. IdaLee Hansel, Spartanburg, SC
Charles Wooton was editor of the Hazard Herald before
l948. I will guess Charles Wooton, but I doubt if it is right.

I am on a limb on this one but looking at the illustration I think of only one person, Roscoe Davis, but I don't think he was born in Laurel County. IdaLee Hansel, Spartanburg, SC |
