History
Gosport, Indiana
Joseph Preston Whitaker began his mortuary service in 1905. He and his wife, Mary Hova Whitaker, were the first generation of Whitaker Funeral Home service providers. They owned and operated the Whitaker Funeral Home in Gosport, Indiana. The original facility burned in 1968. A new structure was built and remained in the Whitaker family until the 1990's when it was sold.
Cloverdale, Indiana
The Whitaker Funeral Home in Cloverdale was first a residential home. The house was started in 1910 by Bert Sandy and went on the tax records in 1912. The original house had Carbide light fixtures. The original wood-work is still intact downstairs with Ionic columns all in their original finish. These, as well as all wood-work is quarter sawed Mission Finish Oak. The finish is obtained by grinding limestone into the wood then treated with clear linseed oil. This gives it a brownish gray finish.
