The hearse and bier pictured above was built by John Ames in the 1840s. Ames, a carpenter, moved to Olmsted from New York in 1934. He not only found employment building homes such as the Briggs House, but acted as the local coffin maker and undertaker. The old-timey hearse is currently displayed at the Frostville museum. | Source: Image courtesy of Olmsted Historical SocietyDownload Original File
