RANDOLPH
FUNERAL
HOME
On Jan. 12, 1946, Warren Randolph purchased
the funeral and furniture business in Allerton from
Mr. Miner Chase.
It was one of the oldest firms in Wayne
County.
Mr. Randolph, his wife, Edna and son, Roger,
came here from Iowa City and took up residence in
the furniture store – later moving to the Goughnour
property. Here
daughter Diana, was born, 1948.
In 1948, Mr. Randolph purchased the present
funeral home from Perry Sears. It was
then completely redecorated, with added improvements
on both inside and out, making it one of the
country’s newest modern funeral homes to date.
Warren expired on July 7, 1969, and since
then the business has been continued by his son
Roger.
