Thomas Edwards Burns (1875 - 1956 ) opened his pharmacy at 127 Washington St. in late 1905 after the closing of the Morlock bakery and restaurant in the 127-131 Washington St. - locations that were on the first floor of the Morlock Hotel. A 1917 postcard written by employee Ethan Ames Howard to his mother describes Burns as the “man on the right” in the photo. Burns Pharmacy remained at that location until the business was taken over in early 1942, becoming Hughes Drug. Co. by that October.
