Photograph of McEachern's Store, on Market Street around the middle of the block between 2nd and 3rd streets. William Heiden McEachern (right, 1867-1929) ran the store along with his brother Neil Morriss McEachern (1874-1937). Neil's family lived upstairs above the store, and those are probably two of his daughters on the balcony.
John Scarborough McEachern (1829-1889) started the store about 1880. His sons William and Neil ran the store later, until Neil sold the store in 1917. Both Neil and William are buried in Oakdale Cemetery.
