In 1901 W.N. Holman and E.N. Stewart partnered beginning Holman and Stewart Undertakers and Furniture. W.E. Holman (son of W.N.) who operated a smaller funeral home in Conway purchased the home of Congressman Thomas L. Rubey on South Adams. Holman did a complete renovation of the home, which was his dream of creating the first full service funeral home in Lebanon.
