Hide Profile

Owner of Crutch & MacDonald, a drugstore in Litchfield, Conn. Following two devastating fires in 1888 that destroyed much of Litchfield's business district, Wessells & Gates, a drugstore, was opened at the corner of South and West streets. By 1899, this was replaced by Crutch's Pharmacy (owned by Aaron Crutch). By 1919, Crutch took on William Marley as partner and the business became known as Crutch & Marley. In 1942, one of Crutch's relations, Archie MacDonald, established Crutch & MacDonald. Robert Doyle bought the business in 1961 and Crutch & MacDonald was closed in 1994 after Doyle reached a business agreement with Rite-Aid.
