It began as a general store which also sold & delivered "coffins" to customers who requested them. In the early 1900's the business moved approximately three city blocks to Main Street on the town square in the McCracken Block where is operated until 1938. The Main Street location was operated by Joseph Luff & his son, Lucius Luff, along with Lucius childrens, Edmund P. Luff & Maggie May Luff. Maggie May Luff married Jess S. Bowen Sr. & he joined the family business. Jess Bowen Sr. went to embalming school & became the first licensed embalmer in Humphrey's County.
