- "Horace L. Fairchild, M.D." was the DBA of Pierre Thomas Chapeau Richards (1842-1897) and Robert Givan Richards (1838-1887) from 1874 to 1875, with Robert as managing partner in New Brunswick, N.J. In 1875 Pierre sold his interest to his mother, Mary Howe Moore (née Givan, previously Richards; 1819-1898); Robert continued to run the business until shortly before his death, after which his half-brother George E. Moore (b. 1852) took over. By 1908 the firm was known as "H.L. Fairchild Remedy Company" (90 Carroll St., New Brunswick, N.J.) under which name it continued in business until at least 1944.
