History
of Byerly-Lindsey Funeral Home
The history of the funeral home begins
with Ed Jones, who operated a funeral business on North
Water Street, Loudonville. In 1918, Mr. Jones sold his
business to Henry Swank, who operated the business on
Main Street until his death in 1934. His two sons-in-law,
Harold Young and Dewey Pipes, purchased the business
known as Swank Funeral Home and in 1937 they purchased
a large home at 123 North Market Street, the current
location. The home was largely remodeled and enlarged
and then in 1945, the Swank family sold the business
to Max Peoples. |

|
| In 1948 Mr. Peoples sold the
funeral home to Floyd Banks of Lucas. In 1953 Mr. Banks
purchased the assets of the T. B. Gilbert Funeral Home
on North Spring Street, Loudonville. |
| |
In 1972 Mr. Banks brought a partner
into the business, Ted Byerly and his wife Patricia,
who owned the funeral
home in Lucas. The Loudonville funeral home became
known as Banks-Byerly Funeral Home. In 1976 Mr. Banks
retired and the Byerly Funeral Home of Lucas was merged
with the Loudonville business.

In 1997, Walt and Kimberly Lindsey of Willard
purchased the funeral home and formed the Byerly-Lindsey
Funeral
Home. Walt Lindsey had been a former employee of
the Byerly Funeral Home from 1980 until 1983. The
Lindsey family history of funeral service goes all
the way back to 1894 when Walt Lindsey’s great-grandfather
began his furniture and funeral business in Willard,
Ohio. The Lindsey family history of funeral service
was handed down from generation to generation continuously
through 1997 when Walt and Kim returned to Loudonville
to own and operate Byerly-Lindsey Funeral Home.
