Wilson Funeral Home

Wilson Funeral Home Families...Ours and Yours. Since 1898 Over the past 100 years, the Upper Ohio Valley has seen numerous changes. Their son, Charles A.

However, a constant has been the involvement of the Wilson Family in the business community. Wilson Furniture and Funeral Homes was founded by Charles Adolph in the fall of 1898. The business changed names after his son-in-law, Howard Wilson, joined the company. Since that time, five generations of the Wilson family have continued to keep the businesses open and thriving. In past years, it was cus

tomary for furniture store owners to also provide funeral home services, because of their talents in carpentry which lend to building caskets. According to Belmont County history, Adolph prospered because he was multilingual. His father had been a German immigrant and was a language teacher with a small college in East Liverpool. Therefore, Adolph was able to converse with customers who did not speak English. Adolph’s wife, Maggie, had also been a success in her own right in Bridgeport. She owned a thriving restaurant at the entrance of the busy C&P Railroad Depot, which was located next to the entrance to the former Bridgeport Bridge. The son of Howard Wilson and Adolph’s daughter, Charles Adolph Wilson, founded the Wilson Funeral Home in Dillonvale, Ohio, which remains in operation today. Wilson, Jr., served as a US Congressman and owner until his death on April 14, 2013. Charlie's sons Jason and Jarrett Wilson own and operate the family business today.
