Burial Association Buys Long Residence Property
Commodious Dwelling on West Main Street Will be Converted into Modern Funeral Home
Through the purchase of the L. D. Long residence property on West Main street, known as the Wright place, the latter part of last week, the Rock County Co-Operative Burial association arranged for the establishment of a funeral home with undertaking parlors. In this connection it is announced that the association’s headquarters in the Kennedy building will be vacated and in addition to the undertaking parlors, Manager Lloyd Johnson will occupy an apartment in the new location.
The burial association has had the establishment of a funeral home under consideration for some time and the purchase of the Long residence property had been pending for the last few weeks. In acquiring the property the association plans to thoroughly remodel the large residence and convert it into a modern, convenient funeral home in every respect.
Possession is to be given September 1st, when Mr. and Mrs. Long will move to their other residence on the west end of Main street, known as the Watson place. The sale to the burial association was made through the agency of Wm. Larkin.
Donations to the Rock County Historical Society can be sent to the Rock County Historical Society, 312 E. Main Street, Luverne, MN 56156.
