From "History of Big Stone County, Minnesota", 1958, page 42. Another present business with early beginnings is the Beaulieu Company. Frank Beaulieu, who was also in the real estate business, and R. A. Costello originally started the partnership in the building now occupied by the Shoe Shop, Hendricks Barber Shop, Simon Olson, and the Bakery. In 1902, Thomas J. Beaulieu and Eugene A. Beaulieu, sons of Frank, assumed operation of the Beaulieu Furniture Store and Mortuary. In 1916 they moved to the brick building they constructed where it has operated since. Thomas J. Beaulieu, Jr., joined them in 1931 and still operates the business today.
