furniture store
The longest running business

Peebles Furniture Store, now
owned and operated by Jack and
Margaret Peebles began in 1935
when Mr. Peeble’s father, John
ston purchased it from John Roger.
Prior to buying the furniture and
funeral business, the elder Mr.
Peebles owned the hardware store
in the building and apprenticed
with Mr. Roger in the funeral
business. He received his licence in
1934.
In 1952, Jack Peebles, in part

Bill Peebles, bought both busi
nesses from their father. Mrs.
Peebles has worked in the furniture
store and assisted her husband in
the funeral business for the past 18
years. They have two children,
Scott of Atwood and Elizabeth of
Scarborough.
The couple say they will miss
coming down to the store to open it
each morning but decided it was
time to start taking things a little
easier.
They will continue to run Peebles
Funeral Home.
