Local funeral home, originally built, owned and operated by the mortician himself. He also later built, owned and operated a nursing home here. Over time he opened a couple more satellite funeral homes in small nearby towns.
In the mean time he got his auctioneer license and started an auction business as over the years he wound up owning a lot of real estate property of all kinds from private residences to multiple acreage farms, as well as household goods, farm machinery, passenger vehicles, tools, guns, etc., etc., taken or willed as payment from many nursing home patients and their funerals when they passed on.
