1926: Frank Delahoussaye's Owl Drug Store was located at the corner of Shamrock and Main. It sold first to Drew and Ferol Lacroix and then to Fred Tannehill. When the pharmacy relocated, the building became Lew Boyce's Grocery. Later the building became the home of State Farm Insurance. Edwin Leatherman, James Berwick and Roy Reed, who later owned pharmacies in Pineville, got their starts at Delahoussaye's.
