The rest of this comes from correspondence with Seattle historian Rob Ketcherside. The map at <a rel="nofollow" class="external free" href="http://www.fremocentrist.com/history/?p=89">http://www.fremocentrist.com/history/?p=89</a> (&amp; there is a high-resolution version at www.edge-archive.com/maps/baist/Plates/13.pdf) shows where this long-gone piece of N 32nd St used to be, just west of the bridge. The taxidermist James Lemon, 3121 Fremont, is listed in the 1910 Polk directory. "Fremont Undertaking Company" is presumably an error. Rob says "that name doesn't exist around this time. There was an undertaker in 3117 Fremont in 1908 at least. M. O. Carton [the name on the sign here, who] moved to 3117 in 1906."
