Here is a giant home, admittedly the most expensive ever built in Northeast Texas, which "has been, adapted with all its 30 rooms to the needs of a growing From the impressive foyer with -staircases to the third floor casket and vault display zooms, the home is modern, beautiful in. every detail. In addition to the funeral home departments, the great building houses four modern apartments, with a guest mpartment and bath available. In these apartments members of the staff.

are seven baths. Answered Need When Brown-Roden moved into the former Scott home, as the place has long been known here, the company did so in answer to the need for more room and improved service. Behind the growth of the firm fa a young: man who despite his yean, is a veteran funeral director. He is Gene Roden, who with Mrs. Marion Brown, widow of his late partner, controls all stock of Brown-Roden- Mrs.

Brown lives in one of the apartments at the present home. Roden joined Emberson-Brown, as the company was then known, back in 1923. He apprenticed at the Ed C. Smith Dallas School of Embalming and became a licensed embalmer. In 1925, he was named manager of the firm, and on the death of Brown in 1931, became a partner.

Started In 1895 The story behind the company is one of service since 1895. At that time, the late Marion Brown started the business in connection with his mercantile store at Sumner, and was joined by John Emberson. As Emberson-Brown. the firm came into Paris in 1912 with an undertaking-furniture establishment near the present location of the Grand Theatre. The building destroyed in the great fire of 1916, and the partners moved to Clarksuille Street where the present Safeway Store is located.

They remained in that location till 1925, moving then to South Main Street where they built modern funeral home. This building served well and offered the best of facilities, bat need for expansion was seen. Then last year, Roden started that led to purchase of the Scott home. Home Block The building is 91 by 87 feet, completely dominates the block in which it is situated, The lot is 239 by 216 feet. Above a vast basement rise three floors, sturdy in construction yet showing the finesse of planning and good building.

Two hundred and eight people may be comfortably seated in the mahogany-finished pews of the chapel, and the adjacent family room will seat 60 persons. A fine Hammond electric organ and newly added chimes are fixtures which reflect the thorough type of service offered by Brown-Roden- The chape! is otj the first floor, as are the office and preparation room. On the second floor are apartments, while on the third floor are display rooms for various types ol caskets and in order that selections may be made on sight rather than through ordering. In the cool, high-ceiled basement are stored other caskets and vaults, while cemetery equipment is stored in a room adjoining the big garage at the rear. Over the garage one finds another spacious apartment.

Trained Staff The Brown-Roden staff is made up of trained men, and includes Moss Wilson, George Cheatham and W. E. Wilson. Headquarters office of the Lamar Assurance Company, owned and operated by Brown-Hoden, is situated in the Brown-Hoden Home. The company, chartered in December of 1935, is managed by Abels McCrum.

Prior to incorporation of this company, however, the firm had written burial insurance since 1906. Music Saturday and Sunday During the formal opening Saturday and Sunday there will be special music by the home's organist, Mrs. Norman, with special selections, too, by Mrs. Alan Wise, George Perfect of Dallas and Mrs. S.

A. Turner of Greenville; formerly of Paris. The Em-Bro-Ro quartet win offer other music. Members of the quartet are E. L- Anderson, Smith Lee George, W.

L. Grain and Charles Capell. Services of the organist and the quartet are offered by Brown- Roden as a service without additional cost. Another service unique with Brown-Roden is their portrait arrangement. Under this plan, if a picture of the deceased is available, an oil portrait is painted and presented to the family without charge.
