Miss Sarah's closed over the last few years, and when a new tenant moved in, the ghost sign was covered up.

Near the corner of the building, approaching the sidewalk, is a plaque that says:

Mrs. Hutchins's Findagrave entry (visit link) has a little bit of information about her and her husband, and it references an exhibit in the Davis Museum:

"Mr. and Mrs. Hutchins and their sons operated a funeral home in Davis from 1904 until 1949 when they sold to Mr. and Mrs. Cecil Bahner. When Oklahoma became a state in 1907, they had to take the state test for morticians licenses. His was license number 30 and hers number 44."
