David Horace Buxton established a mercantile business in Abbot in the
late 1800s and early 1900s, which he operated until his death in July of
1941.
He formed the Buxton Medicine Company in 1894 for the manufacture and
nationwide distribution of Buxton's Rheumatic Cure.
Sales were boosted by directly distributing the Cure all to drug and
general stores with a specially constructed wagon.
Buxton had other interests besides those of his business and held the
office of town treasurer, State Representative, Justice of the Peace,
postmaster and town clerk over a span of 40 years and was also the manager
of the Abbot Hotel. The store burned in 1906.
