Description
Mathews Funeral Home was founded in 1949 at 611 N. Jefferson Street in Albany as the Woodall Funeral Home. It was one of the first funeral establishments in this area to offer air conditioning, chapel and off street parking.
For 35 years, the funeral business was housed in one of Albanys’s oldest homes, the Dr. W. L. Davis’ house, which was originally built in 1876 by Confederate Colonel Edwin Wight. Not only did this house the funeral home but also the owners residence.
The Wight-Davis house was one of the residential showplaces of Albany. Originally five stories, the home was one of the first in Albany with lights and a telephone.
