(Chelsea Update would like to thank Jan Bernath for the information in this story.)
Chelsea Area Historical Society is featuring businesses that have been continued in Chelsea for 100 years or more.
Next up is the Cole Funeral Chapel on March 4 at 7 pm in the Chelsea Depot.
Allen Cole bought the Cole Funeral Chapel from his father, Don Cole, and is the current owner. The funeral home, originally located in downtown Chelsea, was started in 1898 by Samuel Mapes.
In addition to the move to its present location in 1910, Cole will be talking about the many changes to the business including different vehicles and the various owners over the years.
This presentation is free to the members with a $10 fee to non-members. Everyone is invited.
