John Eskridge

The following unidentified newspaper article was found in a scrapbook owned by Town Historian Richard Schmal:

CHANGE NAME OF ESTABLISHMENT TO WEAVER FUNERAL HOME

Mr. and Mrs. John Eskridge, who purchased the Weaver Funeral Home from W.R. Weaver five years ago last May, and continued its operation under the established name, announce that it will now be known as the Eskridge Funeral Home.

Prior to their purchase of the business, Mr. Eskridge worked as embalmer for Weaver for 20 years.

The business, established by the Weaver family in the early 1900's, has gained community-wide prestige for services rendered through the years.

Mr. Eskridge informs the public that to obtain his ambulance service, as well as that of the funeral home, they should continue to dial 3131, as listed under Weaver Funeral Home in the current directory.
