Later history

The memorial for Linda Carolyn Phillips says her parents, Jack and Doris Mitchell, owned the drug store at Bay and Algoma Streets for thirty years, and that the shop later became Janzen’s Pharmacy. The proprietor J. F. Mitchell listed in 1950 may well be Jack Mitchell, though the memorial does not give his initials.[4]
