Our Proud History
It All Started For Us Back In 1888
- Andrew Schum, Sr. started Mariah Hill Marble and Granite Works in the corner of his father's dirt-floor barn - he was only 17 years old.
- Andrew's first project was a hand-carved marker, lettered in German, for an infant. Today, we proudly display this original piece in our Dale showroom.
- The Washington Monument was opened to the public
- The National Geographic Society was founded
- Grover Cleveland won the popular vote but lost the US Presidential election to Benjamin Harrison based on the Electoral College delegate count
- Vincent Van Gogh infamously cut off his own ear
- The plastic drinking straw was patented
- George Eastman patented the Kodak Box Camera and formed the Eastman Kodak Company
