About

691 was originally Blanche Wagner’s home from 1888. A little unusual to have a woman owner by herself back then. It was a private home for a long time. Bates Evan and Fehrenson ran the funeral home I think from the 30’s to early sixties when the landlord raised the rent and they moved down by the high school. It was then again a private home for a few years. Harry Marsdon got it and completely remodeled and moved Au Relais from Schellville to 691. He opened in 1972 and was massively successful for a long time.
