Joe Brutsche came to Battle Creek, MI in 1907 and in 1910, Mr. Brutsche and a friend, Al Humeston, started a concrete burial vault business. The original location was on Kendall St. but soon after, a new building was built out of concrete block that was cast in the initial building. This new location was at 500 Cliff St. In the early years, Joe delivered vaults to the cemeteries in the Battle Creek area with a team of horses whose names were Pat and Mike. Later, around 1915, they were replaced with the business' first truck, a "Federal."
