Greenfield EntrepreneursHere are some businesses operating in Greenfield that have a long history. More will be included on this page as the information is gathered.
Greenfield Products
In 1962, Greenfield Products originated the concept of applying a colored coating to the anchors which protected boat finishes. The product quickly caught on with marine distributors and national retailers. Other products include The Big Daddy 20” camping skillet, a wide variety of anchors, chain, camping products, downrigger weights, and stretch cordage. The Greenfield Products legacy lives on. The daughter of the founder, Ann Gessner Pence, who succeeded her father as President in 1988, and her daughter Nina are a major part of the business today, continually making it grow. Mr. Gessner had the vision, determination, and desire to start something in Greenfield that has prospered and made Greenfield a better place for the residents of the community.

Corner PharmacyOriginally the Corner Rexall Pharmacy in 1948 when Wib Seilkop moved his drug store to the Harper Hotel Building, it is now called the Corner Pharmacy.

Mike Zint purchased the business in 1979 and the name was changed. It is now owned and operated by Mike's son, Eric Zint.

Murray-Fettro Funeral HomeThe Murray Funeral Home, started in 1851 by James M. Murray, is Greenfield's oldest business still in operation! One of his sons, also named James M. Murray, worked with his father and took over the business at his father's death in 1901. James Murray operated the business until his death in 1946. In 1935 Ralph Clyburn was employed by Mr. Murray and he purchased the business in 1947. Mr. Clyburn kept the name of Murray Funeral Home out of respect for Mr. Murray. Ralph's two sons, Dane and Phil, also began working with their father at an early age. They took over the business and made many improvements over the years under their management. In the late 1990s, they sold the business to Heath H. Fettro. In keeping with state law, the name of the funeral home was changed to Murray-Fettro in April 2000.
