PENICK FUNERAL
HOME, McKENZIE, TENNESSEE
In 1926,
Elijah Charles (Charlie) and Joseph Newton (Joe) Penick purchased the
Scates Undertaking Co. and the name was changed to Penick Bros.
Funeral Directors. A few years later, Charles became sole owner and
the name was changed to Penick Funeral Home. In 1936 it was moved from
downtown McKenzie to Magnolia Street. In 1945, Jack Brummitt purchased
the business, retained its location, and changed the name to Brummitt
Funeral Home, as it remains today.
The Penick Funeral Home books,
which are housed at the Brummitt Funeral Home, contain 1,238 burials
from 1926 through 1945. |
