In 1858 J. Leander White began as a photographer and furniture dealer in Coolville, Ohio. He began by making caskets for the citizens who passed away. His son Charles would take over the business at the age of 19. By this time the science of embalming had entered the funeral business as well as having funeral services at the funeral home. This is the time when White's became a full-service funeral home. Charles would eventually pass the business on to his two sons Clyde Jr. and Jack who continued to provide the Coolville community with dignified funeral services. The last of the White's, Lee Ethridge, ran the business until his death. Mike Putman began working at the funeral home in 1983 while Kevin Schwarzel joined the business in 1988. Mike and his wife Becky purchased the business in 1996 and has operated it ever since.
