An Illustrated History of the State of Washington, by Rev. H.K. Hines, D.D., The Lewis Publishing Co., Chicago, IL., 1893, pages 461-162 A.C. CHUMASERO, proprietor of the City Pharmacy, was born in Seneca county, Ohio, December 22, 1861, a son of George M. and Betsey H. (Gillett) Chumasero, both now deceased. The mother was a native of New York, and the father of England. The latter came to the United States when ten years of age, locating first in New York, and later in Ohio. A.C. Chumasero, the youngest of six children, attended school in his native State, and completed his collegiate course at Oberlin College, Ohio, in the class of 1882. He was then engaged in teaching for a time, and in 1890 came to the Pacific coast, locating first in Portland. Mr. Chumasero soon afterward came to Vancouver, where he embarked in the hardware trade, under the firm name of Chumasero & Clark. In June, 1892, the former sold his interest to his partner, and purchased the drug establishment of A.L. Ross. This well-known house carries a full and complete line of fresh drugs, toilet articles, perfumery and all pharmaceutical preparations. Special care is given to physician's prescriptions, that department being under the management of a graduate of pharmacy. Mr. Chumasero was married in this city, December 22, 1891, to Miss Mary E. Smith, a native of Wisconsin. In political matters, our subject supports the principles of the Republican party. Submitted to the WA. Bios Project in October 2003 by Jeffrey L.
