John F. Myers came to Reno in the late 1860s. In the early 1870s, he started working at William T. Frank's Apothecaries Hall, Reno's first drugstore. The store burnt down multiple times and was rebuilt, and Myers came on as a partner (now Frank & Myers). Myers took a break from the drugstore business in the second half of the 1870s, before opening his own drugstore in late 1879. In 1882, he hired SJ Hodgkinson as a clerk and Hodgkinson eventually took over the business in 1884. Myers had a tragic end to his life after selling the business. He became addicted to morphine and died of an overdose at age 35 in 1885.
