Mathias Monuments has been a constant on Main Street in Westminster for more than a century. Owner George Irwin and his wife Marilyn said they have worked to keep the same rigorous business standards that were passed on to them from the Mathias family.

[…]

Mathias Monuments, named and owned by Joseph L. Mathias, was purchased from the Beaver family in 1906. The Mathias family was well established in the community; Mathias even served as the mayor of Westminster from 1942 to 1963… http://westminster.patch.com/articles/mathias-monuments-serving-carroll-county-for-over-100-years
