What a combo! Per the Oxford, Iowa Centennial, 1869-1969 book, the dapper men in the photo are Tom Morrissey and Frank Floerchinger. They are standing in front of a furniture store and an undertaking parlor that were located in the building that is now apartments. I wonder, did those two businesses share a location, or were they separate spaces? Quite an odd pairing.
Actually it was pretty common, the furniture store usually provided the caskets.
