On second thought, maybe I will try and rewrite some of the Vernor's history. The reason I say this is because there also seems to be some confusion as to when James Vernon started his pharmacy at 235 Woodward Ave.
Notice in this article where it mentions ...
"the drug store of Messrs. Vernor & L'Hommedieu, 219 Woodward Ave"
From ...
The Detroit Free Press ~ August 3, 1867

Now notice in this next article where it indicates the company was "dissolved" and James Vernor bought out his partner Charles L'Hommedieu, and that the drug store was located at 219 Woodward Ave.

Question:
If James Vernor was located at 219 Woodward Ave. in 1867 and 1868, then how could he have started a drug store at 235 Woodward Ave. in 1866?
Note: There are zero newspaper articles about James Vernor having a drug store at 235 Woodward Ave. in 1866. The 1867 and 1868 articles above are the earliest mention I can find of him having any connection with any drug store in Detroit at that time.
