Abstract:

The earliest information on undertakers in Greenville goes back to John Flanagan, a Pitt County carriage maker who established an undertaking business in 1866. Flanagan developed many partnerships and built several factories. The company changed hands in 1916 and 1932. Since then, there have been numerous undertakers and funeral businesses in the area including: Benjamin S. Sheppard, George Asa McGowan, Robert Greene, Jr., Edward S. Williams, A. A. Ellwanger, Marshall E. Clark, J. H. Boyd, Jr., Sam Short, F. G. Williams, Walter E. Flanagan, Isaaih Baker and Roderick and Donovan Phillips.
