It  appears from a quick Googling that it is indeed the same family & that  
C.H. Goodykoontz was the  founder of the drug store. See this link ---->>

I have no way of knowing.  I  had the same question myself.  Incidentally, 
at last report the  Goodykoontz drug store was still in business at the 
intersection of Bland  and South streets.

Is that the Goodykoontz family that owned the pharmacy?

Bluefield Daily Telegraph
December 24,  1911
 
IN CITY AND COALFIELD
------
Heavy Passenger Train
    Train No. 2 pulled out of the depot  here yesterday with twelve coaches 
loaded down with passengers for  Virginia points.  Among the interested 
people who watched the train  leave this city was Judge W. F. Rhea, of the 
Virginian Corporation  Commission, who is spending Christmas here as the guest 
of his daughter  and son-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Goodykoontz.  The judge 
enjoys  spending the holidays here with his grandchildren, who spent  
Thanksgiving with him at Richmond.
------
Train Much Delayed
    Train No. 3, which was delayed the  previous night, arrived in the city 
yesterday morning shortly before 5  o'clock.  It was followed by train No. 
17.  The local offices  of the Norfolk and Western called up the hotels 
about a half hour before  the train to advise them of its coming so guests who 
wished to take the  train going west could get up in time to leave the city 
and arrive at  their homes in time for Christmas.  The service was much  
appreciated.

[No. 3 was due out of Bluefield at 8:30 p.m. in a  1910 Official Guide.]
