Historia
The Pritchard family established their business at Wyman, Quebec in the 19th century. Originally the small village was known as Billerica until the C.P.R. arrived and the name was changed to Wyman. Mr. James M. Pritchard (1847-1889) established the family business, a general store, which became the centre of the village. When Mr. Pritchard died suddenly, his wife, pregnant with her fourth child, took over management of the family business, now officially know as E.A. Pritchard. Eventually her son, William Frederick Pritchard (1879- 1953) took over. William Frederick was also the local postmaster and stationmaster.He was assisted periodically at the store by his sister Abbie Stewart Pritchard (1887-1960). Abbie's main interest, however, was the Women's Institute in which movement she became quite prominent. The business was taken over by the Dodds family in 1944 when Fred Pritchard became ill. In 1969 the modernized store was destroyed by fire.
