Louis Traub, Gabriel’s son, lived in the Industrial Revolution Era. He carried on the family furniture and appliance business and organized turning the undertaking business into the funeral home business in the early 1900's. He was a founder/charter member of the Village of Central Square board in 1890. He was also involved in the organization of the Central Square Volunteer Fire Department.

Following a fire that destroyed their furniture store and home on South Main Street in 1917, they purchased Goslin's Hotel on North Main Street (the current location of the funeral home) and renovated it for their home and relocated the furniture store.

George Traub Sr., son of Louis Traub, served as a medic in World War I. While deployed, he was wounded in action and received a purple heart medal for his service. His wife ran the funeral business until George safely returned home. Lillian would hitch up the team in all kinds of weather and go to the family’s home to embalm and prepare the deceased for wakes and funeral services. Together, they became the first licensed undertaker and embalmers of the family.

George Traub Jr., son of George Traub Sr., was the fourth generation to carry on the business. In 1958, George Sr. and George Jr. purchased cremation equipment and Traub Funeral Home began Traub Crematorium, Inc. for those family’s choosing cremation.

George also served several terms on the Village Board as a Trustee and Mayor and President of the Central Square Volunteer Fire Department. During one of his terms as Mayor, the Village celebrated its 100th year Centennial in 1990.

G. James Traub joined the family business in 1963 and was a licensed funeral director for over 50 years and served as President of Traub Funeral Home Inc. until his passing in 2019. He owned and operated a funeral home in Bernhards Bay and Chittenango for several years. In 1964 the Vandermill Funeral Home in Bridgeport was purchased.

Major renovations were completed in 1965 including a casket display area, preparation room, and crematorium. In 1983 a newly relocated building specially designed for funeral services was built to replace the original funeral home. A new service chapel, enlarged parking area, and a third crematorium highlighted renovations in 1988.

Andrew Traub, son of G. James Traub, became the sixth generation to own Traub Funeral Home, Inc. and still continues as a licensed funeral director, operations manager, and President of the three funeral homes and crematorium. During this time, he and his father James Traub purchased Watson Funeral Home of Central Square and together, they co-owned the Traub and Watson funeral homes.
