As House
On November 26, 1949, the John Kalte residence was purchased
by the Ermels to be used as a Funeral Home. Prior to
that, from 1922, the Ermels operated the first ever chapel
in the area, from
the back of their store. Previous
to this visitations were held in private homes. |
House to First Addition
The Ermels sold their business to their managing director, Howard
Stahle in 1951. He ran the funeral home until his death
in 1967. Tanner & Pearson then purchased the business
and operated
from the original home until 1971, when a large
hall, and
chapel were added. |
