Our History
The Schofield house was built in 1900, by a local
businessman and philanthropist John F. Ross.
After the Ross family, the famous traveling Winninger
Family Novelty Company headed by Franz Winninger
occupied the house. His son, Charles Winninger was
perhaps the most famous of the family for he went on to
do Hollywood movies.
The Hayden-Buettgen Funeral Home has been owned and
operated as a funeral home since 1954, when Earl Janssen
bought the three story colonial house and moved in with
his family. In
Mr. Hayden owned and operated both funeral homes up until his retirement in September of 1999, when his employee, funeral director John Buettgen, along with his wife, Beth Buettgen, purchased the business. The funeral home’s name was officially changed to Hayden-Buettgen Funeral Home in January 2001. Then in 2009 changed to John J. Buettgen Funeral Home.
