One of the early "Undertakers" for the town was Thomas Campbell. After him came a happy, whistling young man known as "Otty" Lakin. The boys about town used to say, "Otty can make a dead one look better than a live one." Otto sold out to Allan Campbell, known for his pleasant and business like ways. When Allen went to Danville Mr. Harold (Hap) Powell took over and was a superb man at the business for several years. The present owner of the mortuary is Mr. Weaver of Danville, (Mr. Hugh Weaver) who has done much work on the building to give the townspeople accommodations that are the equal to those of a large city. (Mr. Weaver sold the funeral home/ furniture store to Mr. Jess Wingler who operated it for over 20 years and he in turn sold it to the current owner, Mr. Dan Hayes.)
