Title
Everson Funeral Home
Description
Everson Funeral Home at 808 First Center Avenue in Brodhead, Wisconsin. The house was built in 1872 for Charles Thompson a lumberman. It was sold to L. W. Terry and then purchased by Tallie E. Everson in 1931. Mr. Everson opened his undertaking business on August 6, 1920 and started with a chapel in the Searles Building downtown. He had purchased land to build a funeral home, but changed his mind and decided to remodel his home to accommodate funerals because he wanted them to have a more homey feel. He opened the present location on May 2, 1931. The funeral home is the oldest in all of Green County having been in business 105 years. Tallie's son, Tallie II, followed in his father's footsteps. The funeral home is in it's third generation and is presently being run by Tallie III.
