Information

The store no longer exists. It was a popular and necessary part of early Henryville as you will see in the following photographs:

1. Photograph of Charles E. Clegg's horse drawn hearse with rider and two horses. c.1900, as with any small town, an undertaker is a very necessary profession and the photo will show that he added a bit of style to his service.

2. Photograph looking west on Main Street (was known as Salem-Charlestown Road before Henryville was platted in 1850). This is a view from Railroad Street up to Front Street in Henryville, circa 1900. Buildings in the picture from left to right: Guernsey Brothers Groceries, Post Office, C.E. Clegg Furniture Hardware Undertaker and a farm implement store.

3. Closer look at Clegg Furniture Hardware, Undertaker and farm implement store located at the northeast corner of Main Street and Front Street

4-6 are photos of pages from the account book. It is likely they are from the 1920s, from Mark Amos' collection of Henryville memories. It is uncertain which owner of the local funeral home could have kept these books. During this time it changed hands from the Clegg, to Coots, to the Bollinger families.

This point of interest is part of the tour: Henryville Indiana Walking Tour
