The Eddy Funeral Home has been serving Jamestown and the surrounding communities since Porter W. Eddy and Herbert Procter returned from the Spanish-American War in 1905. They purchased the Adam Furniture Co. at 108 1st Avenue South and operated the furniture store on the main floor and the funeral home in the basement, and later on the second level.

In 1925, Eddy purchased Procter's interest after his retirement.

Paul W. Eddy, Porter's son, began a friendship with Truman E. Risbrudt while attending the University of Minnesota. Eddy returned in 1931 to serve as President of the Eddy Funeral Home and Risbrudt followed a year later to serve as Secretary/Treasurer.
