Out of nine firms celebrating their 170th anniversaries this year, two have remained in the family for five generations: Hemp's Meats (www.hempsmeats.com) has been providing top quality meats to Jefferson, Maryland and surrounding areas since 1849.
And Pennsylvania furniture retailer Teeter's Furniture (www.teetersfurniture.com) has also run a funeral business over the years.
In 1849 it was not that unusual for a small town cabinetmaker to also serve as undertaker. But the Teeter family has managed to continue doing both businesses for 170 years and that is remarkable.
