The Mannasmith Chapel at 621 West 5th Street occupies a building with a rich architectural and historical legacy. Constructed between 1861 and 1864 as a private residence for Cornelius Springer Hamilton, the red-brick Italianate structure was converted into a funeral home in 1924 by L. H. Miller. Over the decades, the business changed hands several times, passing through William Lee, the Postle family, and then to Dallas and Julia Hale. On July 1, 1979, Roger and Becky Mannasmith purchased the funeral home, initiating two major improvements: the addition of a back parking lot and the construction of the Mannasmith West Chapel, which houses a casket selection room, family conference area, monument selection area, preparation room, and offices. The building’s “home-like” atmosphere and tasteful landscaping create a comforting environment for families.

The funeral home also operates the Schnurrenberger Chapel at 222 West Center Street in West Mansfield. That chapel traces its roots to 1902 when Bert C. Ballinger established the Ballinger Funeral Home and Furniture business. After several ownership transitions, including the dedicated stewardship of John and Marie Schnurrenberger from 1971 to 1996, Roger and Becky Mannasmith purchased the business on March 1, 1996. In 2014, Woody Wilson acquired both locations, continuing the tradition of compassionate service under the Wilson Funeral Homes banner.
