EFFICIENT PERSONNEL AT THE SERVICE
OF THE PUBUC.
Henry D. Mole Will Be
In Charge.
Henry D. Mole, graduate mor
tician of the Gupton-Jones
School of Embalming, is the
manager in charge of the Funer
al Home.
Mr. and Mrs. Mole will reside
in the lovely little six-room bun
galow built within a few yards
of the funeral home on the same
grounds.
E. M. Espies, probably the
best known, and certainly one
of the most popular men in this
section of the State, began the
undertaking business in a very
small way in 1918. He had at
that time only one motor
vehicle and one assistant. From
that small beginning he has pro
gressed to a personnel of 12
persons, as follows: E. M.
Peeples, manager, funeral direc
tor and eifibalmer; Earl F. Pee
ples, assistant manager, funeral
director and embalmer; Henry
D. Mole, manager, funeral direc
tor and embalmer of the Barn
well Home; William F. Speights,
assistant embalmer and funeral
director; Miss Louise Platts,
stenographer-bookkeeper; John
Dobson, Ellerbe Mason and Cecil
Mason, service men; Jimmie
Holland, office boy; Willie Reid
and Sam Campbell, colored fu
neral directors; William James,
assistant to Reid. The equip
ment now' comprises three ser
vice cars, two trucks, two ambu
lances and three hearses.
The first year in business he
conducted forty-two funerals;
last year, two hundred and sixty-
four.
In addition to manufacturing
a re-inforced concrete vault, ab
solutely water-proof and air
tight, w’hich is attracting wide
attention, Mr. Peeples is district
manager for the McNeal Marble
Co., the largest in the South and
one of the oldest in America.
Although the field of service
is constantly being enlarged, per
sonal service of the same high
quality and deep sympathy will
continue to be the keynote of the
organization.
