W. II. Williams, in 1812, kept an apothecary ( as drug stores
were then termed, after the custom in England), and advertised
that he " solicits a continuance of public patronage, either in the
common way of making an apothecary of one's stomach, or upon
the new plan of no cure no pay," and adds that " the honest, temperate
and industrious poor would be granted favors if desired."
Others who had opened business by this time were Benjamin
S. King, William White, John G. Morehead, and William W.
Taylor.
Dr. F. J. Haywood, the elder, was one of the earlier inhabitants.
He was born in Raleigh in 1803. No man in his day was
more identified with the general welfare of the people or who ,•
contributed more to their substantial good than the late Dr.
F. J. Haywood. In the practice of his profession he became one
of the most eminent physicians in the State. His character and
ability as a medical man was no greater, however, than that
which ho sustained in his private relations, for in these he was

She passed away on the 22d of July, 1902. She had many

proprietors were Alfred Williams and Dr. F. J. Haywood. During
the continuance of this firm, in 1836, Mr. J. Ruffin Williams,
then a youth of sixteen years, entered the store as clerk,
continuing as such for several years, until 1840, when he became
one of the proprietors with his brother and Dr. Haywood. This
business had the longest existence of any firm ever established in
Raleigh. Dr. Haywood was the father of the late Dr. F. J.
Haywood. Mr. Williams was the father of Mr. Robert I. Williams,
one of the capital city's well- known druggists.
One of the best- known men to the older inhabitants of Raleigh

enterprises inaugurated here and in the State, although some of
