His wife, Alice Minerva Osborn Pease, and daughter, Marion E. Pease took over the firm upon his death.

The collection consists of calendars and journals; daybooks; business account ledgers and inventories; funeral account ledgers, register and record books; financial records, including tax returns, receipts, and bank statements; real estate records, including census of business, acquisition and sale of property; and death records, including burial permits, correspondence, state death certificates, provisional death certificates, funeral notes of records, Ohio obituaries, and military death records.
