Philip Ellovich was a Jewish immigrant from Romania who immigrated with his family to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in 1905. After graduating from the University of Pittsburgh School of Pharmacy, he went into business and ran two Reznor Drug Stores in Sharon, Pennsylvania. In 1924, Ellovich met and married Miriam Gross, a native of Sharon, Pennsylvania. Both were active members of a number of philanthropic and religious organizations. During the 1930s and 1940s, they were involved in assisting Jewish victims of oppression in Europe. In July 1979, after eighty years of business, Reznor Drug Store was closed. After retirement, both Philip and Miriam Gross Ellovich moved back to Pittsburgh to live near their daughter Marcia Ellovich Frumerman.
