Our Proud History 
It All Started For Us Back In 1888
  • Andrew Schum, Sr. started Mariah Hill Marble and Granite Works in the corner of his father's dirt-floor barn - he was only 17 years old.
  • Andrew's first project was a hand-carved marker, lettered in German, for an infant. Today, we proudly display this original piece in our Dale showroom.
  • The Washington Monument was opened to the public
  • The National Geographic Society was founded
  • Grover Cleveland won the popular vote but lost the US Presidential election to Benjamin Harrison based on the Electoral College delegate count
  • Vincent Van Gogh infamously cut off his own ear
  • The plastic drinking straw was patented
  • George Eastman patented the Kodak Box Camera and formed the Eastman Kodak Company
