HISTORY: This house was built by George and Dora (Dokie)
Ebensberger in 1957. George continued the management of Ebensberger Funeral Home
which had been in the family for two generations. Mrs. Ebensberger discovered
she had ovarian cancer. This was at a time when very few survived a cancer of
any kind. She enjoyed her new home for only a few years but those years were
filled activities with her husband and four children and her many loving friends
who helped her fill her last hours with fun and laughter. Dokie died in June of
1960.
The family remained in this house for a number of years, then it
was sold to Dr. Bob Potter who converted it to an office building. Dr. Potter
also built a smaller frame house on the lot joining on the south which he used
for his Dentistry. Since that time both houses have been used for various
businesses. The Ebensberger House is now owned by Drs. Billy and Joann Ryan,
chiropractors. Dr. Potter's building is owned by Edgar Schwarz, Jr., engineer
and surveyor.
