C. THIEME undertaking establishment on South Eleventh Street dates back for a quarter of a century in the history of Murphysboro. Established in 1898, the business has grown to a remarkable extent and has kept abreast of the changing times. Mr. Thieme acquired the business from D. L. BOUCHER who had successfully conducted it for a number of years. Among the other early owners of it were Louis HOFFMAN of Tenth and Walnut streets. The present owner is a licensed embalmer and has had years of experience in his profession. He is a graduate of one of the best schools and the business has shown a steady growth under the new ownership. The equipment is motorized throughout and maintains auto ambulance service day and night. Mr. Thieme gives the business his personal attention and has a lady assistant on his staff. While he has been a resident of the city for a comparatively few years, his strict attention to business and his pleasing personality have won him many warm friends, who are pleased with the success he is making.
