Text-to-speech Audio
Joseph Urban's Livery service transported people from the local train stations to their destinations. Frequently, the destination was Cedar Lake. The building was owned by Adam Firnhaber in 1869 and Urban owned it from the late 1800's until around 1910. He was succeeded by Joseph Geller, who followed in the livery business along with starting an auto dealership. By 1920, Ralph and Leo Burg took over the garage from Geller and Ralph bought Leo out two years later. He married Joe Geller's daughter Ester in 1922 and ran a Chevrolet dealership with his two sons, Tom and Richard.
