EDWARD HUNTZINGER, druggist, Piqua. Another of the enterprises of the city of Piqua is the pharmacy of Edward Huntzinger, to which we give more than a passing notice; his “All Right” drug store is located in the Leland Hotel building, where he has been favorably known since November, 1879; he keeps a complete line of drugs and druggists’ sundries, and makes prescriptions a specialty. He is a son of Edward, Sr., and Elizabeth Huntzinger, both natives of Pennsylvania, where their marriage occurred. Edward, Sr., devoted his entire, life to general merchandising; his death occurred in 1848, and the widow now resides in the city of Philadelphia; the issue of this union was two daughters and one son (our subject), who was born in Pennsylvania in 1846; his elementary education was acquired in the Schuylkill Haven Village School; he afterward improved the same at the Military Academy at West Chester, Penn.; at the age of 20, he took up the study of medicine, under Dr. J. G. Koehler, as a preceptor, three years; March 3, 1868, he graduated from the Medical University of Pennsylvania, after which he practiced in the county hospital a period of six years, thereby amply qualifying himself for his present occupation. His marriage with Fannie V. French was celebrated in January, 1873; they have one child— Anne E.; Mrs. Huntzinger is a native of Maine, a descendant of the Puritan stock, and a daughter of Charles and Ann French, natives of Maine, where they now reside.
