1968: Steed-Todd Funeral Home had moved from Commerce and Gidding streets to Prince and Manana streets.

The mortuary, owned by Dexter Todd, had been at the Commerce/Gidding location for 28 years.

Todd said the Prince Street location offered adequate parking, modern facilities and a larger chapel.

Parking had become a problem at the Commerce/Gidding location, Todd said.

The new location had once been home to Chapel of Memories Mortuary.

Steed-Todd was one of Clovis' original businesses, opening in 1907 as Charles V. Steed Funeral Service Parlors.
