Nearly all of the pictures on this page were given to me by Ed and
Janet
Harden, (Thanks!) who got them from the old Brakefield Drug Store,
where it is assumed they passed from the pharmacist prior
to Mr. Brakefield, one Robert W. Jones. The picture at the top of this
page and
the three at the bottom were in the group, so I assume they're Walton,
but who knows?? If you do, I'd love to hear from you.
Winifed Miller's response to my request above is here.
Ads from Robert W. Jones's Drug Store, and some pics of the front window display are here.

And then there's Walton's most famous home, the Gaines House:
The Boone County Recorder published
this piece on the home on July 26, 1899,
there's
an undated piece (I'd guess 1930's - 40's) of unknown authorship
here, while last is
Elizabeth
Coomer's very fine piece called
Gaines Tavern.
