One of the books discovered in boxes at the Faison Museum is a scrap book, assumed to be that of Frank Devane who operated a drug store in the 1930’s. Below is a picture of Mr. Devane and a few documents that were randomly selected from his scrap book. These documents are dated in the 1800’s. Many hours will be required to study the contents of this and other books. The “Museum Committee” expects that many “golden nuggets” are waiting to be discovered in this and other museum collections from the early 1900’s.
