Shannon Funeral Chapel dates back to 1906. N Fort Worth was a separate town when S. D, Dave? Shannon arrived twenty years earlier. With his partner, long-time funeral manager George L. Gause, they recognized the opportunity that existed in the rapidly growing North Fort Worth region. Dave Shannon soon moved into county and state politics and turned the company over to his sons, J. Oliver Shannon and S. D. Shannon, who improved the business by adding the best horse drawn hearse and ambulance.
