Simon Franklin, Advisory Board Member of Irvington Rural Health Center, LTD.; Jerry L. Beguelin, MD; and Jose Basurto, Advisory Chairman at the opening of Irvington Rural Health Center, LTD on July 6, 1990.
Irvington Friendly Care Excels In Healthcare Irvington Friendly Care has 110 years experience between the staff of physicians and the medical staff. The building originally was constructed for and occupied by the K.T. Baldridge Appliance Company. The members of the Ruritan Club decided that their most worthwhile and important civic project would be to obtain the services of a community physician and surgeon. The Ruritans sponsored, along with monetary donations, the remodeling of the
building to provide the community and prospective physician with a beautiful, fully equipped clinic type facility. On Sunday, July 6, 1990 dedication services were held and Jerry Beguelin, MD accepted the keys and announced the next day that he would be opening up a general practice for medicine and surgery under the name of Irvington Rural Health Center, LTD. Jerry Beguelin, MD began his career in medicine in 1964 and is still practicing.

Schaefer Businesses Celebrating 9 Years Schaefers Flowers & Crafts began in February of 2007. The business was started by my wife Ritsuko and myself. My wife and I decided to open a business in Centralia, located at 214 W. Broadway, where the business is still located today. The flower business is something my wife
always wanted to get into. I was finally able to make that dream a reality once I retired from the UPS. Ritsuko always loved arranging flowers and creating crafty items, so we decided to open a flower and craft shop. The business took off, and has been a success ever since. My wife believed in
taking care of the customer, making sure the arrangements were made to the customer's order. She was very detailed at creating and made some exquisite pieces. Customers loved the fact that she would work with them in finding what they wanted, down to the exact color of flowers. We still strive
today to keep up what Ritsuko started. In 2008 I added Marten Portable Buildings to the many items we offer now. In 2013 I started offering Eagle carports. The shop has increased in products over the years, and we have a variety of fabric, flowers and craft items to offer.

Farmers State Bank Was Established In 1911 The site of the original location.
The bank’s second home - built in 1967.
Ray W. Schnitzmeyer as cashier.
Farmers State Bank was organized in 1911 and opened its doors for business as a private bank when the owners and directors of Gluesenkamp Bank of St. Peters, who knew something of Hoffman, concluded it would be a good place to start a bank. The private bank was changed to a state bank in 1921. In 1933 Ray W. Schnitzmeyer of Hoffman was elected as a cashier and served until 1967 when he was elected to serve as executive Vice President. The current president is Glenn Knolhoff From 1911 to 2016 — 105 years — the bank’s mission statement remains the same: to offer the finest in banking services as well as being involved in community. Farmers State Bank came from a humble beginning to now having three locations for your convenience.

February 17, 2016 Mr. Ira Garnier, Sr., right, placed this horse and hearse entry in the Centralia Centennial Parade of 1953, reflecting the history of the funeral business when he was a young man.
Hillcrest Funeral Home, Cemetery and Cremation Center
Hillcrest’s 95th Anniversary Year In 1921, unhappy with the way other burial sites were being maintained, five Centralia businessmen began Hillcrest Memorial Park Co. It was located north of Centralia on property known as Howell Hill. Around 1930, Paul K. Owens was one of the grounds keepers at the cemetery. Later his widow, Aleida, married one of the original founders of the company. In the years following, Aleida’s son, George Owens and his wife Genny took over the cemetery. In 1959, Aleida’s daughter Dorothy Sutherland began running the cemetery. Mrs. Sutherland continued in the family business until 2008. Throughout those years, her son Mike and his wife Judy began working at Hillcrest Memorial Park and are the current owners of the growing Hillcrest Funeral Home, Cemetery and Cremation Center. Following tradition, their daughter Amanda (Sutherland) Ponyi and son John Sutherland are now involved as licensed funeral directors. Five generations strong and offering stability year after year.
Our Family Helping Your Family 5 Generations Strong
Sutherland–Garnier Funeral Home... Family Tradition Since 1874 It started in 1874 when Gus A. Garnier joined his aunt Theresa Haussler and her son, Berthold, in the Haussler undertaking business. Mr. Garnier and his sons, Robert and Ira worked for three generations of the Haussler family. When the Haussler company dissolved in 1929, Gus Garnier and his sons established the Garnier and Sons Funeral Home. Within months they moved to 235 N. Sycamore, where the funeral home remains to this day. The third generation, Ira Garnier, Jr., and Gorden Elliston (husband of Mary Louis Garnier) and fourth generation Richard Garnier joined the family business. In 2011 Mike and Judy Sutherland of Hillcrest purchased the funeral home from the Garnier family and the family tradition of generations in the funeral home continues as their children, Amanda (Sutherland) Ponyi and John Sutherland are licensed funeral directors and are involved every day in the funeral home.

Si Vallett Auto Sales: Running Strong For Over 55 Years Si Vallett Auto Sales is celebrating 55 years in business and 26 years at their Nashville location. The business was started by Si and Ann Vallett in Steeleville, IL in 1961, where it operated at the intersection of Highways 4 and 150 until late 1988. The owners decided to retire and sold the location. Si and Ann's youngest son Vaughn, who had been involved in the business since childhood, graduated in 1989 and wanted to be in the car business. With no location open at the time, Vaughn and Si started looking for a new place to settle — a nice town to really grow some roots, comparable to Steeleville. They decided on Nashville, and boy, was that a great decision! "Nashville has been great to us. We love the town and the people," says Vaughn. The dealership specializes in used cars, trucks and SUVs and takes pride in having something for everyone's price range. Si Vallett Auto Sales would like to thank its customers, both near and far for the years of patronage and looks forward to many years to come. Si Vallett Auto Sales is family owned and operated by Vaughn, his wife Tinna and son Cory.

The Centralia Recreation Complex, Celebrating Their 20th Year The Centralia Recreation Complex, located at 115 East Second Street, was a $5 million project that was built with private funds. Getting the Complex built was a team effort. There were also almost 200 individuals involved in fund raising efforts for the Complex. In addition, more than 700 individuals contributed to the campaign. On July 10, 1992 the Centralia Foundation announced that it had initiated a study to determine the feasibility of building a c o m m u n i t y c e n t e r. Foundation trustee Bruce
Geary was named chairman of the Building Committee. Preliminary architectural designs for the proposed $7 million community recreation center were unveiled on July 28, 1992. The master plan, designed for a maximum of 70,000 square feet, was split into three construction phases. The first phase would include a two-court gym. The second phase was to include an indoor pool and the third phase could contain a second gym and racquetball. Construction drawings and bids were completed in the first half
of 1994, ground was broken on June 26, 1994, and the Centralia Recreation C o m p l ex o p e n e d o n October 4, 1995. The new building was huge, with 60,000 square feet. The dual gym, with a three-lane, 1/12 mile jogging track suspended around it, covered 13,000 square feet.
The Complex has always offered year round activities for the whole family. In the 20 years since they first opened, The Centralia Recreation Complex has continued to add new equipment and classes to their facility.

Community Trust Bank: Serving Its Communities For Over 103 Years
Community Trust Bank has a long heritage of being a family owned independent financial institution for much of its history. In February of 1923 Alfred Pitchford was appointed president of the Richview State Bank. Alfred was the grandfather of Lester Pitchford who served as President and Chairman of the Board. Lester served as president for 50 years after being appointed in 1950. Currently serving as chairwoman of the board is Lester’s daughter, Nancy Roethemeyer who replaced her grandfather, Raymond Pitchford upon his death in 1976 and Lester’s grand-
daughter Sheila Burcham is currently serving as President/CEO. Over the past 156 years, Community Trust Bank has been known by three different names. Starting out in 1860 the bank was a private business ran by Samuel Phillip Cooper and called the The Exchange Bank of S.P. Cooper located in Richview, Illinois. In 1912, when Mr. Cooper passed away his son-in-law, Jack Stanton sold the bank to a group of investors who changed the name to The Farmer’s and Merchants Bank. On August 7, 1913 the State of Illinois gave permission to another
Sheila Burcham, President/CEO and the late past chairman Lester Pitchford.
group of men to form the Richview State Bank and as a result, by September 15th of the same year, the new bank had bought out Farmer’s and Merchants Bank. After moving to Irvington on December 12, 1966, the directors changed the name to Community Trust Bank for which it is known today. This financial institution has seen many economic changes throughout its history. During the depression in 1932, the bank was closed for two weeks due to the Bank Moratorium but re-opened after a trip to Springfield with the books to prove its solvency. However, during this time, in order to keep the bank operating, the 3% semi-annual dividend was eventually reduced to zero and the $1 per meeting directors fee was given back to the bank by all board
members. These measures paid off as the bank weathered the depression almost unscathed. Community Trust has been through numerous expansions after the move to Irvington in 1966. The building in Irvington was expanded once in the early 80’s. In 1981, the board and management decided to expand their operations to include the Centralia area by putting a branch facility on the east side of town and an ATM facility on the west side of town. This facility was again expanded by doubling its space and adding a basement in the fall of 1994 enabling the data processing operations to be moved in the fall of 1996. Wanting to expand its market and continue to grow, the Board of Directors decided to expand with a branch facility in the Nashville, Illinois area.

DePew & Owen Builders, Inc. Is Celebrating 54 Years DePew & Owen Builders Inc. was formed in 1962 in Centralia by William E. “Bill” Owen and Ralph “Red” DePew, Jr. out of Red’s father’s shop and Bill’s home and they specialized mainly in residential construction but were involved in some light commercial work. After a few years of operating at its current location at 511 South Oak St. the company became incorporated in 1972 and the company started doing more commercial and industrial work. In the late 70s and early 80s the company started building bridges and became an IDOT and CDB approved contractor and soon after had taken on the Butler Pre-Engineered Metal Building line. Red left the company in 1980 and then Bill retired in 1992. Today, a few decades later, the company’s officers are Alan Owen, son of Bill, as President and Ronnie Donoho, Jr., grandson of Bill, as Vice President, who both have worked for the company since high school in the early 80s. While there have been many changes in the company and the industry over the past 54 years, the company is still performing much the same as a full service general contractor and has on the average 15-18 employees including carpenters, laborers, cement finishers and operators who take pride in their craftsmanship. Over the past 54 years the company has been involved with about every type of construction and will pursue a project as small as installing a door knob to building a several hundred thousand square foot industrial or commercial facility. The company now has also changed its line of Pre-Engineered metal buildings from Butler to American Building Systems. The company is now undergoing a major much needed change and is moving its location this spring from its current 6,000 sq. ft. facility to its newly renovated 30,000 sq. ft. facility at 301 North Oak facility to help with its operations and to better serve its customers. The Company remains very diversified working on projects as unique as the construction of the Centralia carillon tower to road and bridges, railroad overpasses, bank facilities, medical facilities, industrial and institutional work and yet we still make house calls.

Jewett changed the name to Hoffman Seed House and owned and operated the business until 1976. In 1976 Oliver Hanenberger bought the business and his main focus was on seed processing and seed sales.

American Family Insurance Is Celebrating 19 Years In Business!
In 1997 Darrel Mays was approached by American Family Insurance, to open the first agency in Mt. Vernon, IL. At the time he was a livestock feed salesman, selling to farmers, ranchers and feed distributors. He had told himself that if he were to ever sell anything else it would be something that he could sell to everyone. Obviously, livestock feed isn’t something that you can sell to just anyone. The timing was right and he opened a scratch office for American Family Insurance in Mt. Vernon with no policies in place. With the help of the community and a lot of hard work, not only was he able to succeed, but in August of 2005 he was able to open a second location in Benton, Illinois.

Rolling In New Directions South Central Transit started in October, 1989. After 18 years of providing demand response public transportation, in 2007 South Central Transit began rolling in a new direction. During the peak of all time high fuel prices and in an effort to transport a greater number of riders from rural areas SCT began offering public shuttle routes. The shuttle routes were designed with “You” our clients in mind and have predetermined stops and times to repeated places of interest to provide the public with convenient, low cost transportation without advanced scheduling. To date SCT has 16 public shuttle routes operating throughout their six county service area and in the past month have transported more than 9,000 riders. Current SCT shuttle operations include Intra-city routes that operate inside the city limits of Centralia and Mt. Vernon and Intercity or countywide routes which provide clients the ability to commute from city to city and county to county (within SCT’s 6 county service area). Most shuttle routes are designed to provide clients with direct connections to other SCT shuttles at established transfer stations. South Central Transit’s public shuttle route system is accessed daily by hundreds of clients for medical appointments, employment, continuing education, shopping and recreation. Shuttles also stop frequently at Greyhound, Mt. Vernon and Amtrak in Centralia, Du Quoin and Carbondale. This map is a basic view of SCT’s current public shuttle route system. Detailed brochures of shuttle routes, times and information are available at www.southcentraltransit.org or by calling South Central Transit at 532-8076 or 800-660-7433.

Salem Building Materials: Serving You For Over 29 Years 2016 marks Salem Building Materials 29th year. “New products and technology have changed the business a great deal over the years,” states owner/manager Kathy Rose. Specialized computer programs allow SBM to help customers visualize projects for houses, additions, or cabinet remodeling. They also regularly update displays, samples and literature. Kathy noted “Due to the increase in outsourcing, it requires constant vigilance on our part to buy from companies that offer both quality products and good customer support and when possible - Made in the USA. Customer satisfaction is a priority and we strive to listen to our customers and give friendly, professional service.” Jackie Storey and Kathy keep up with what’s new in cabinets, countertops and flooring while Floyd Purcell and Jim Gaston stay up to date on windows, doors and building materials. Patsy Rose keeps tabs on hardware items and Lorraine Day and Kim Jourdan make sure all the paperwork goes correctly. Alan Bell and Curtis Finley make the customer deliveries. “We deeply appreciate all the customers that support our local, independent, non-corporate store and look forward to serving our area for years to come!”

Celebrating 84 Years Of Business At Allen's Furniture
113 Years Of Tradition
In 1932 Sam Allen and his wife opened up their first furniture store in Vandalia, Illinois. Along with running a business they also had two girls, Lorraine and Rita Mae, who, when they reached their teenage years helped out in the store from time to time. Both were teaching school at the time Sam passed away in 1950, so both Lorraine and Rita Mae went to work at the store full time to help out their mother; and eventually took over ownership of the store. Allen's Furniture has been in business for 84 years now and is still going strong.
In 1903 Ross Flower Shop and Greenhouse in Centralia opened for business by Earl and Whitie Ross. The greenhouse, operated by the Ross family following the turn of the century, provided fresh flowers for the Centralia shop and other florists as far away as Chicago. Carl and Jackie Thalman of Centralia purchased the store in 1959 from the Ross brothers to continue the tradition at 211 South Locust in downtown Centralia. The next generation came with Kenny and Judy Thalman, naturals since Kenny grew up in the flower industry. In 1984 Kenny and Judy became the new owners when their parents retired. Ross Flower Shop continues to flourish at 705 South Poplar in Centralia with a rich history for 113 years.

144 Years of Learning Right at Your Fingertips The history of the Centralia Public Library may be divided into three eras, the period before and after the establishment of the library in the Carnegie building and after the 2013 construction/renovation project was completed. The first era began on December 3, 1872, when the city council adopted an ordinance which provided for the establishment of a public library and reading room and the levy of a tax for its support and maintenance. On September 1, 1874, the Centralia Public Library was officially opened in a second floor room in the Willard block on South Locust Street. The first librarian’s report, dated November 21, 1874, showed 446 books on hand, 19 books borrowed and 264 visitors. By 1880 the library had outgrown the room and to meet its needs was moved to a large upstairs room in the new McKnight building (N.E. corner of Broadway and Locust) where it remained for more than twenty years, until it moved to the newly constructed Carnegie building. A cornerstone laying ceremony was held on July 17, 1902 and the structure was dedicated on January 14, 1903. With the opening of Carnegie building, the second era began. In 1972, two additional wings were built on and in 2013 a construction/renovation project began; which in addition to a complete remodel of the Carnegie building also included an addition with a computer lab, activity room for library programs, elevator and public restrooms. Visit your library today; so much history, learning and fun awaits you.

KVCCU Is Celebrating 34 Years
Ground breaking of the office in Salem
In 1982, the Centralia Correctional Center Credit Union was chartered with just 19 people. The credit union moved from the Correctional Center and into its own building in Centralia in 1993. In 1995, Arrow Group Industries Federal Credit Union merged with the credit union. Many different Select Employee Groups were added over the years and in 2005, a community charter was granted allowing the credit union to serve anyone who lives or works in Marion, Clinton, Jefferson and Washington counties. These additions facilitated a name change to what it is today — Kaskaskia Valley Community Credit Union. As the Kaskaskia River runs through the area and has an effect, water shed or flooding or recreation, it is a common attribute to the four counties. The latest expansion was Illinois Central Area Credit Union merging into KVCCU at the end of 2009. Over the course of the years KVCCU has and still continues to put the members first. KVCCU helps put more money in your pocket with free products and services. Coming soon is another office to be located at 1404 W. Main St. in Salem, which will open in spring of 2016.
Let Kaskaskia Valley Community Credit Union Welcome You With Open Doors Kaskaskia Valley Community Credit Union would like to be your not-for-profit financial cooperative. Let KVCCU open the door in the right direction for that auto loan, VISA credit card or that free checking account. Many other services available!
