In the midst of the Great Depression, Lloyd Geesey and A. M.”Bunny” Ferguson traveled from Dallas looking for a town, which could possibly give them an opportunity to start and prosper in the burial vault business.Because there were fewer empty buildings on Parkerson Avenue than they had observed anywhere from Dallas south, then east on Highway 90, they chose to investigate Crowley further. Mrs. Steve Toler, a recent widow and owner of Toler’s Funeral Parlor, hired Mr. Geesey as an embalmer, and gave them space for the manufacturing of burial vaults, which Mr. Ferguson supervised. With in the first year, these two men bought out Mrs. Toler’s interest in the funeral home.
With their hard work and sense of community service, Lloyd Geesey and A. M. “Bunny” Ferguson managed to succeed in a very precarious business climate in establishing Geesey-Ferguson Funeral Home in January of 1934 and has continuously met the needs of the area, with the third generation of the Geesey family in ownership.
