F. P. Shannon
Among Carbon’s most enterprising young business men, is Mr. F. P. Shannon, proprietor of the Carbon Drug Store, and Post-master. In addition to the duties of the above office he is Co. Supt. of Schools, and one of the Territorial Pharmacy Commissioners. Mr. Shannon came to Wyoming in 1881. He was connected with Beckwith, Quinn & Co., for three and a half years as cashier, which position he resigned in order to visit South America. After a year’s absence from Carbon, he returned and opened his present store and is succeeding finely. Mr. Shannon is a very progressive young man, and is bound to succeed in whatever he undertakes. He is finely educated and deservedly popular wherever he is known. During the several months in which he has served as Co. Supt., he has won high praise for the able manner in which he has fulfilled the duties of his office. He is doing much for the cause of good literature by offering the citizens of Carbon the best works of ancient and modern writers at extremely reasonable prices. J. A. Shannon acts as post-office clerk and is very popular with the general public on account of his pleasing address and strict attention to business.
