Parhurst, who owned the Union store there. He remained there for a num- Der of years, both as clerk and part ner In 1876 he formed a partnership with Jasper A. Fitch under the name of Fitch & Drake and first oc- cupied the quarters of the Union store, later moving to the Bissell block, where a successful business was done for many years. MT. Fitch retired after twenty years and MT. Drake continued the business alone. A disastrous fire in 1898, entailing a loss of several thousand dollars, destroyed the Bissell block. In 1899 MT. Drake moved to Hartford and became a merchant.
