Established in 1935, The Rolfe family has always been pace setters. Anna Rolfe, the sister of Robert H. Rolfe, was in the First student body and graduating class of Douglas High School. Robert H. Rolfe was in the land run of 1889.

He founded a broom factory that became the largest in the Southwestern part of the United States, and he was instrumental in the purchase of the Mt. Rose Baptist Church which was later renamed Fifth Street Missionary Baptist Church.

Mr. Rolfe began another new business venture with an acquaintance named Mr. Hallie Williams, starting the Rolfe & Williams Funeral Home. Several years later he bought Mr. Williams share of the partnership and renamed it Rolfe Funeral Home.

After completing mortuary school, his sons Walter T. Rolfe, Henry R. Rolfe Sr., & John R. Rolfe Sr. joined him under the mortuary's new incorporated name, Rolfe Funeral Home, Inc. Today it is owned and operated by the third generation, John R. Rolfe, Jr. and John H. Adams, Sr.
