H. Lee. Emerson had dreamed of building a new funeral home at 285 E. Main Street and had acquired the land. His dream never materialized during his lifetime as he died suddenly on October 4, 1959. However, his wife, M. Gladys Emerson and children made the dream come true when construction began on the new funeral home just four years to the day of his death. Renowned local contractor Jess Ours of Hebron built the facility which was completed in 1964. The spacious new building provided to the community the latest in funeral home facilities. It gave families the ability to hold visitation and funeral services in a modern chapel area that is accessible to all.
