Historical Note

Benjamin Franklin Henry was a partner in F. A. Grove and Co. Drug Store when the south side of the Square burned in March 1890, totally destroying their building and stock. Henry bought out Grove's interest and rebuilt at the same location. He and his son and clerk, Clifford Elmore Henry, a student at St. Louis College of Pharmacy, are behind the counters.
