Column: Remembering Gainesville pharmacist, Jo Ann Adams Harris Blackwood
In the first season of “The Andy Griffith Show,” a young lady druggist came to town to run her uncle’s drugstore.
Her name was Ellie Walker and she was played by Elinor Donahue, who had just finished a long run on the series, “Father Knows Best.”
Ellie’s arrival created quite a stir in Mayberry. It particularly disturbed senior citizen Emma Brand who was quite upset when Ellie refused to sell her some pills. Emma brought a dime to pay for them, just as she did with Ellie’s Uncle Fred.
