Philip Edward Boyd Memorial, Leary

This monument pays tribute to Philip Edward Boyd (1839-1906). It notes that he spent thirty-three years (1873-1906) devoted to Leary. Boyd was a Confederate veteran. Carole Mallett Lechner notes that it was originally located in the middle of Main Street, at Hotel Street, but was moved because it kept being struck by cars.

 

Bridges Pharmacy, Leary

The building with the Harpe Grocery sign was originally a pharmacy. Milton Kidd writes that in the 1940s, this was Dr. Bridges’s pharmacy. Carole Mallett Lechner recalls a later pharmacist working there, Charles A. Roberts.
