Imagine working at the same place of business for 50 years. 

Ed House has been doing just that and, according to Stumpff Funeral Home General Manager Scott Holz, he will likely will remain doing so in the foreseeable future.

Holz sees Ed's fifty years of service to the community and his job as a great reason to celebrate. Holz is inviting you to stop by Stumpff Funeral Home at 166 SE Washington and sign a giant card for Ed.

The public is invited to a special celebration for Ed House Monday, July 22nd, at the Washington County Fairgrounds from 6 p.m. to 8p.m.  Holz says Ed is a bit reluctant about all this but he is going along with it. And he should! After all, one of Ed's favorite foods will be served at the event: Coney's!

The event will also feature special giveaways as they celebrate Ed House and his 50 years of service to the community and to Stumpff Funeral Home.

According to Holz, Ed has touched many lives in our community as a funeral professional and as an individual well as a member of several clubs and organizations.
