Page 564: "A sketch of Westport would be incomplete without mentioning at least some of its prominent business men. Mrs. Bernard takes 1855 as the period. Among the men and firms of prominence were Kearney & Bernard, A. G. Boone, J. M. & J. Hunter, Baker & Street, William Dillon, S. P. & W. H. Keller, S. C. Roby, J. G. Hamilton, F. Gallup, Fred Eslinger, Edwrad Price, Henry Sager, Francis Booth, J. Bucher, Antonney Richter, and A. B. H. McGee and Louis Vogle, P. D. Elkins, father of Senator Elkins, of West Virginia, F. G. Ewing, freighter, and Caleman Smith, manufacturer of ox-yokes. H. F. Hereford and Joel B. Morris were the most prominent physicians. Park Lee was the principal lawyer in the place, and John J. Mastin was a law student. Scott & Boggs was the principal druggists [sic], and did a large business. A. M. Eiseley had a bakery at the northeast corner of the present Mill street and Westport avenue."
