The Pharmacist Died

Van Horn's only pharmacist died last week, and his family closed the drug store. All prescription records were sent to the nearest pharmacy, an hour-and-a-half away. I've heard of this happening in small-town Iowa, but the distances between towns there is far more manageable for those in need of medication. I know folks are looking at some solutions to this dilemma, but the loss is clearly a blow to the town.
