Coudersport, Eldred, and Smethport Buchanan Brothers Pharmacy Closing In April
It is with mixed emotions we announce the sale of three of our locations to Rite Aid. It was a decision we did not reach lightly. Due to poor insurance reimbursement, independent pharmacies across the country are being forced to close their doors. Pharmacy organizations representing all sectors of retail pharmacy have been aggressively asking legislators to address these issues with the pharmacy benefits managers (PBMs) for quite some time. Unfortunately, they have been slow in taking action. It simply is not a sustainable business model when total reimbursement is less that the costs we pay for medications.
Thank you to everyone in surrounding communities that have supported our business over the years. We appreciate you. It has been our pleasure to take care of your prescription needs.
A huge thank you to ALL of our employees, both past and present. We value each and every one of you. You are what made our business successful for over 40 years.
We are grateful that Rite Aid remains committed to serving rural Pennsylvania and has offered employment to all of our current staff in Potter and McKean counties. No action is required on your part to transfer your prescriptions. All of the prescriptions from our Eldred and Smethport locations will be automatically transferred to Rite Aid in Port Allegany and all of the prescriptions from our Coudersport pharmacy will be automatically transferred to Rite Aid in Coudersport. The last day of business in our Smethport location will be Monday April 8th, Eldred will be Tuesday April 9th, and Coudersport will be Wednesday April 10th.
Please note that there is no change to our Westfield and Elkland locations. With a more diverse and better payor mix in Tioga County, those stores will continue to remain open and it will be business as usual. Once again, we are continuing to operate our stores in Westfield and Elkland.
We sincerely appreciate the support of our valued patients over the past several decades. It has been a privilege to serve you.

Denise Liliane Schmitt Losey, 93, of Pioneer Road, Emporium PA
Denise Liliane Schmitt Losey of Pioneer Road, Emporium PA, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, March 19th. She was born in Strasbourg, Alsace, France on the 30th of June 1930 to Francois Paul and Irma Marie Burr Schmitt. Her life in France was idyllic until WWII when she experienced nightly air raids and evacuations during the Nazi invasion. During her teenage years the occupation required she change her nationality from French to German, then back to French after the allied victory. She was fluent in French, German and English which garnered her work as an interpreter for the US Army and the American Graves Registration Command in Paris before she emigrated to the US at the age of 18.
After coming to Emporium, she was employed by Sylvania starting in the secretary pool until being noticed for her translating skills. She met a young draftsman, Harold Losey while at Sylvania and in 2023 they celebrated 70 years of marriage. He preceded her in death by 6 days, a testament to their devotion to each other.
Roy D. Jackson, 82, a lifelong resident of Shinglehouse, PA
Roy D. Jackson “loving husband and missionary of Christ”
SHINGLEHOUSE, PA— Roy D. Jackson, 82, a lifelong resident of Shinglehouse, PA, went to be with the Lord on Saturday, March 16, 2024, in his home surrounded by his loving family after a lengthy illness.
Born on May 31, 1941, in Bolivar, NY (Allegany County), he was the son of the late David Samuel Jackson and Rhoda Iantha Chain. On April 8, 1961, in Conneaut Lake at the Church of Faith, Roy married Carol Grayce Gamble. Together they shared almost 63 wonderful years of marriage.
Roy was a graduate of Oswayo Valley High School, a pipefitter at Dresser Rand for 29 years, and a member of the Gospel Tabernacle Church, located in Coudersport, PA. With a heart for people and missionary work, Roy dedicated his life to serving others. In fact he traveled to over 33 different countries and distributed Bibles through World Mission Alliance. When Roy was not traveling, he loved gardening because he liked (as he would say) “to watch things grow,” and he also enjoyed giving people garden vegetables and talking about the Lord. Around the house, Roy loved to sing, talk about books and mission trips, and share his wonderful sense of humor. Oftentimes, his family would say when he teased: “That was an RJ joke.” He will be greatly missed.
