Blair-Stubbs Funeral Home

Blair- Stubbs has roots in this community dating back to 1910 when J.I. Riddle 
opened a furniture and funeral business in Mexia.

1935 was a significant year for the funeral home.  J.L. Blair became associated 
with the firm that year and also Riddle Burial Association was established one 
of, if not the first burial associations in Texas.

John S. Stubbs Sr became associated with the firm in 1945.  The operation 
continued in the downtown location until 1957, when J.K. Hughes home was 
purchased and converted to a funeral home.

The Hughes home built in 1918 by the Munger family was purchased by the Hughes 
family in the early 20's during the Mexia oil boom.  J.K. Hughes added a South 
wing and front porch to the home as well as central heat and air (one of the 
first in this area) other additions to the home included the chapel and 
elevator.

In 1968 J.L. Blair and J.S. Stubbs purchased the funeral home from the Riddle 
family and has been know as Blair- Stubbs ever since.  Jimmy Blair's interest 
was purchased by John Stubbs in 1978.  John Stubbs Jr. became active in the 
business in 1980 after graduation from Mortuary School.  John Stubbs Jr. 
purchased the Funeral Home in 1995 and his wife Kathleen also a licensed funeral
director continue to serve families.
