The Zahn Funeral Parlor was located in what was at one time the Roberts Exchange Bank, on the southeast corner of Green and Main Street. Today an empty lot. I remember Mr. Warlow having an accounting business in this building for several years.

"All of the other children except Samuel eventually moved from the Roberts area. Here Sam Ebert, born in 1863, reared his ten children and died in 1960 at the age of 97.
A wise talented man, he was a person with strong convictions. He was probably the earliest licensed embalmer (1907)in the village, operated a furniture and hardware store, tended over 100 colonies of bees and an apple orchard.
He first married Amelia Zahn, who was the mother of six of his children. Later he married Theophelia Warnke."
