C. Nielson, another Co-op cabinet shop worker, took over the cabinet shop and continued to make furniture in a building located at Main and Forest. He realized that local buyers found homemade furniture obsolete, so opted to sell imported furniture. This required more capital, so Nielson asked Ola N. Stohl, A. T. Jorgensen, and Henry Stander to become partners in a new firm. When Nielson moved from Brigham City in 1897, Stohl purchased his holdings and officially opened Stohl Furniture Company in the old cabinet shop on August 11, 1897. He continued as manager until 1898, at which time his son, Lorenzo N. Stohl, took over management.<sup class=\"modern-footnotes-footnote \" data-mfn=\"2\" data-mfn-post-scope=\"00000000000006210000000000000000_154\"><a href=\"javascript:void(0)\"  role=\"button\" aria-pressed=\"false\" aria-describedby=\"mfn-content-00000000000006210000000000000000_154-2\">2<\/a><\/sup><span id=\"mfn-content-00000000000006210000000000000000_154-2\" role=\"tooltip\" class=\"modern-footnotes-footnote__note\" tabindex=\"0\" data-mfn=\"2\">Forsgren, 121.<\/span>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cA new department of embalming was added in 1899.
