   R. E. EVELEIGH, Postmaster and druggist, is a native of Bloomfield, born
August 31, 1848. After attending the public schools of his native town, he
entered the scientific course of the State University in 1867, graduating in
1869. For a period, he was employed in clerking, but in October, 1875, he
embarked in business on his own responsibility in Bloomfield, with a stock of
drugs and books valued at about $1,000. He has ever since continued this line of
business, and owing to his increase in trade has been enabled to establish one
of the most successful mercantile houses in Bloomfield. At present, his stock
consists of upward of $5,000 worth of drugs and books, and his annual sales will
reach about $15,000. Mr. Eveleigh is a member of the fraternity of Odd Fellows,
is a Republican in politics, and in October, 1875, was appointed Postmaster at
Bloomfield, a position he yet occupies.
