Edgar Hauenstein, Bluffton's druggist to an earlier generation
Edgar Hauenstein, Bluffton's druggist to an earlier generation, stands in his pharmacy, which is today The Twisted Whisk cafe at the corner of Main and Cherry.
Seen in the backgrounds are authentic apothecary bottles, which are over 80 years old.
This photo was taken at his retirement from the Bluffton-Richland Public Library board, where he served as a board member for 23 years. Edgar graduated from Bluffton High School in 1896.
