Mike Watson, pictured here, portrayed Dr. John Nicholas Page, an early druggist in Columbia, when their biggest competition was the doctors who also provided medicines. From Mike's research, he shared this history at Silent City 2024 in the historic Columbia Cemetery. Dr. Page spent most of his life in Columbia, except for a few winters in his latter days when he would spend the winter with his daughter and family in Louisville. Comments | Permalink

Dave Thomas, at left, portrayed Marshall H. Marcum, Columbia hotel owner and businessman in the 2024 Silent City walk.

We'll add photos and history about each as the performers have time to share their notes. Comments | Permalink
